CoRoT-10b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.

It is an Jupiter-sized planet orbiting K1V star with Te = 5075K, M = 0.89M, R = 0.79R, above solar metallicity. It has an estimated age below 3.0 Gyr.

COROT-10b is a relatively young gas giant with unusually heavy core producing much heat.[3]
