Description
CoRoT is a space telescope which aims at studying internal structure of
stars and detecting extrasolar planets. We present here a list of
transits detected in the light curves of stars observed by CoRoT in two
fields in the anti-center direction: the LRa03 one observed during 148
days from 3 October 2009 to 1 March 2010 followed by the SRa03 one from
the 5 March 2010 to the 29 March 2010 during 25 days. 5329 light curves
for the LRa03 field and 4169 for the SRa03 field were analyzed by the
detection team of CoRoT. Then some of the selected exoplanetary
candidates have been followed up from the ground. In the LRa03 field, 19
exoplanet candidates have been found, 8 remain unsolved. No secured
planet has been found yet. In the SRa03 field, there were 11
exoplanetary candidates among which 6 cases remain unsolved and 3
planets have been found: CoRoT-18b, CoRoT-19b, CoRoT-20b.

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
