COROT-2b is the second extrasolar planet to be detected by the French-led COROT mission, which orbits the star COROT-2 at a distance of 930 light years from Earth towards the constellation Aquila. Its discovery was announced on 20 December 2007. The planet is a large hot Jupiter, about 1.43 times the radius of Jupiter and approximately 3.3 times as massive.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! COROT-2b is the second extrasolar planet to be detected by the French-led COROT mission, which orbits the star COROT-2 at a distance of 930 light years from Earth towards the constellation Aquila. Its discovery was announced on 20 December 2007. The planet is a large hot Jupiter, about 1.43 times the radius of Jupiter and approximately 3.3 times as massive. Its huge size is due to the intense heating from its parent star, which causes the outer layers of its atmosphere to bloat. The extremely large radius of the planet indicates that COROT-2b is really hot, estimated to be around 1500 K, even hotter than would be expected given its location close to its parent star. This fact may be a sign of tidal heating due to interactions with another planet.
