CoRoT-12b is a transiting Hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2010.
Host star
CoRoT-12b orbits CoRoT-12 in the constellation of Monoceros. It is a G2V star with an effective temperature of {{convert|5675|K|C F}}, a mass of 1.078 {{Solar mass|link=y}}, a radius of 1.116 {{Solar radius|link=y}}, and an above-solar metallicity. It has an estimated age between 3.2 and 9.4 Gyr.{{cite journal |title=Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission: XII.
