CoRoT-23b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope on 2011.
It is an hot Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a G0V star with Te = 5900K, M = 1.14M☉, R = 1.61R☉, 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]
