CoRoT-11b is a transiting Hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.^[4] From obtained light curves and Bayesian inference on the data, it is highly likely that CoRoT-11b has been observed in a secondary eclipse around its host star (transiting behind it). ^[5]

Host star

CoRoT-11b orbits the star CoRoT-11 in the constellation of Serpens. It is a F6V star with an effective temperature of 6440±120 K, a mass of 1.270±0.050 M_☉, a radius of 1.370±0.030 R_☉, and a near-solar metallicity of −0.03±0.08 dex.^[a] It has an estimated age of 2.0±1.0 Gyr.^[6]
