Corot finds gas giant exoworld.

So does Corot do spectral analysis, or is it strictly counting photons of any wavelength? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

It does spectral analysis as well for this is primarily an asteroseismology mission. => spectral variations are used to assess star's oscillations<br />But caution: they Fourier-transform the lightcurve and look after mHz signals. This is not at all spectrography in optical wavelengths...<br />http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/index.cfm?fobjectid=40955<br />

Thanks, I should have known, but there's just so much to keep track of <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
