CoRoT-23b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011.
CoRoT-23b orbits CoRoT-23 in the constellation of Serpens.It is a G0V star with Te = 5900K, M = 1.14 M☉, R = 1.61 R☉, and near-solar metallicity. Its age is 6.2 - 8.2 Gyr.
The planet may be in an unstable orbit and subject to merger with the host star in the future. [3]
