TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of very shallow (ΔF/F ≈ 3.4× 10 −4 ) periodic dips in the light curve of an active V = 11.7 G9V star observed by the CoRoT satellite, which they interpret as caused by a transiting companion.

Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission - IX. CoRoT-6b: a transiting “hot Jupiter” planet in an 8.9d orbit around a low-metallicity star

TL;DR: The CoRoT satellite exoplanetary team announced its sixth transiting planet in this article, which is a "hot Jupiter" planet in an 8.9d orbit, 18 stellar radii, or 0.08 AU, away from its primary star (F9V) with an estimated age of 3.0 Gyr.
