Sign in to savethumb|right|alt=Comparison of best-fit size of the exoplanet CoRoT-11 b with the Solar System planet Jupiter|CoRoT-11 b beside Jupiter CoRoT-11b is a transiting Hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010. 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).
