Description
In this paper, the CoRoT ExoplanetScience Team announces its 14th
discovery. Herein, we discuss the observations and analyses that allowed
us to derive the parameters of this system: a hot Jupiter with a mass of
7.6 ± 0.6 Jupiter masses orbiting a solar-type star (F9V) with a
period of only 1.5 d, less than 5 stellar radii from its parent star. It
is unusual for such a massive planet to have such a small orbit: only
one other known higher mass exoplanet orbits with a shorter period.
The CoRoT space mission, launched on December 27, 2006, has been
developed and is operated by the CNES, with the contribution of Austria,
Belgium, Brazil, ESA (RSSD and Science Program), Germany and Spain.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
