Scientific paper
Since its successful launch in December 2006, the CoRoT satellite has been providing long term, high duty cycle light curves of unprecedented precision for thousands of stars of all types. Its first results, among others an inflated giant planet orbiting a very active G type star and the first eclipsing Brown Dwarf like object on short orbit, illustrate that CoRoT is particularly well-suited to make significant breakthroughs in our knowledge of planets with short orbital periods.
I will briefly describe the mission profile, the instrument performances and the battery of ground-based observations which are being performed to complement the light curve analyses, allowing us to fully characterize the detected planets. I will then present some of the latest results from the mission.
