CoRoT-14b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.[3]

Host star

[edit]

CoRoT-14b orbits CoRoT-14 in the constellation of Monoceros. It is an F9V star with an effective temperature of 6,035 K (5,762 °C; 10,403 °F), a mass of 1.13 M☉, a radius of 1.21 R☉, and a near-solar metallicity. It has an estimated age between 0.4 and 8.0 Gyr.[3]

Characteristics

[edit]

The planet is unusually dense (7.3 g/cm3) for its mass and distance from host star, making CoRoT-14b one of the densest gas giants known.[3]
