Corot has first discovery announcement
Corot Exo1b - 1.3 Jupiter masses, radius of 1.5-1.8 Jupiter radiii around G dwardf with 1.5 day orbital period.
So another short period, bloated Jupiter. Star is 500 pc away, so I'm guessing roughly 12th magnitude.

The big news is the very high precision photometry they are claiming, their sensitivity looks very good, and they should go to lower masses than anticipated over the next year.
Current photometry looks to be 50 micromagnitudes, compared with specs of 0.7 millimagnitudes and they still haven't beaten down the data yet, are extrapolating to 10 micromagnitudes, which is better than the Kepler specs!
We are going to see some very, very interesting extrasolar planet discovery announcements over the next year or few.
This is going to be a fun time.
I never thought I would ever be jealous of the quality of someone's relative photometry....
ah, that photometry is beautiful! Hooray for doing better than expected!
Of course, the cynical view is that they will now get to struggle with
systematics that they wouldn't have had to bother with before...
