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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of very shallow (DF/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 due to the presence of a transiting companion.

TL;DR: In this article, an intensive observational campaign carried out with HARPS at the 3.6 m telescope at La Silla on the star CoRoT-7 was reported, where several approaches were used to extract the radial velocity signal of the planet(s) from the stellar activity signal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made use of data from the first public release of the WASP data (Butters et al. 2010) as provided by the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under the ERC grant number 279973.

TL;DR: CoRoT-Exo-3b as discussed by the authors is the first very massive transiting planetary companion with a short orbital period, observed from May to October 2007 for 152 days, and has a radius of 101 ± 007 R Jup and transits around its F3-type primary every 426 days in a synchronous orbit.
