  1. First results from CoRoT C. Karoff H. Kjeldsen , T. Arentoft, J. Christensen-Dalsgaard Danish AsteroSeismology Centre, University of Aarhus, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Denmark Instrument Center for Danish Astrophysic, Denmark

  2. Convection, Rotation & planetary Transits CoRoT has two scientific objectives: • Stellar Seismology • Search for Exoplanets. Proteus platform • 27 cm afocal telescope • 4 2kx4k frame transfer CCDs • Colors provided by a prism in front of two of the CCDs

  3. 27th of December 2006 • CoRoT was launched with a Soyuz rocket from Baikonur on the 27th of December 2006. • Precision for Asteroseismology: 0.74 ppm in 5 days. • Precision for Planets: 0.075 % i one hour.
