The planet was first detected by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey in 2002.

OGLE-TR-10 was identified as a promising candidate by the OGLE team during their 2001 campaign in three fields towards the Galactic Center.

These parameters bear close resemblance to those of the first known transiting extrasolar planet, HD 209458 b.

[4] The planets with the longer periods in the hot Jupiter class all have small masses (~0.7 MJup), while all the short-period planets (i.e., very hot Jupiters) have masses roughly twice as large.
