CoRoT-14b is a transiting Hot Jupiter exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.[citation needed]
Host star
CoRoT-14b orbits CoRoT-14 in the constellation of Monoceros. It is a F9V star with Te = 6035K, M = 1.13M☉, R = 1.21R☉, and near-solar metallicity. It has an estimated age between 0.4 and 8.0 Gyr.[citation needed]
Characteristics
The planet is unusually dense (7.3 g/cm3) for its mass and distance from host star, making CoRoT-14b one of the most dense gas giants known.[3]
