The transiting exoplanet CoRoT-11b and its peculiar tidal evolution
CoRoT-11b is a fairly massive hot-Jupiter (Mp = 2.33 ± 0.34 MJup ) in a 3 days orbit around a F6 V star with an age of 2 ± 1 Gyr. The relatively high projected rotational velocity of the star (v sin i⋆ = 40 ± 5 km/s) places CoRoT-11 among the most rapidly rotating planet hosting stars discovered...
