摘要:

CoRoT飞行任务的目标之一是使用高精度测光法寻找凌日系外行星,并准确描述其基本参数。自2007年2月以来,CoRoT卫星连续观测拥挤的恒星场,采用高节奏的精确测光;在恒星光变曲线中检测和分析周期性日食。然后,利用地面设施进行补充观测,就可以确定凌日天体的性质及其质量。CoRoT已经获得了超过163,000条光变曲线,并探测到了大约500颗候选行星。其中一小部分(5%)是被确认的行星,其质量是独立测量的。CoRoT发现的主要亮点是:i)近距离巨行星内部结构的多样性,ii)第一颗已知的凌日岩石行星CoRoT-7 b的特征,iii)潮汐在行星系中形成、演化和作用的多重约束。

英文摘要:

One of the objectives of the CoRoT mission is the search for transiting extrasolar planets using high-precision photometry, and the accurate characterization of their fundamental parameters. The CoRoT satellite consecutively observes crowded stellar fields since February 2007, in high-cadence precise photometry; periodic eclipses are detected and analysed in the stellar light curves. Then complementary observations using ground-based facilities allows establishing the nature of the transiting body and its mass. CoRoT has acquired more than 163,000 light curves and detected about 500 planet candidates. A fraction of them (5%) are confirmed planets whose masses are independently measured. Main highlights of the CoRoT discoveries are: i) the variety of internal structures in close-in giant planets, ii) the characterisation of the first known transiting rocky planet, CoRoT-7 b, iii) multiple constraints on the formation, evolution, role of tides in planetary systems.
