CoRoT-24b is a transiting exoplanet found by the CoRoT space telescope in 2011 and announced in 2014.
[6] Along with CoRoT-24c, it is one of two exoplanets orbiting CoRoT-24,[5] making it the first multiple transiting system detected by the telescope.
It is a hot Neptune orbiting at a distance of 0.056 AU from its host star.
Dr. Lammer's team modelled the planetary system and found that the atmosphere should have already evaporated a long time ago.
This led to the conclusion that CoRoT-24b is not as big as previously thought, being perhaps 30 to 60 percent smaller than initially measured.
