COROT-7 (TYC 4799-1733-1) is a G-type main sequence star, slightly smaller and cooler than the Sun. It has an apparent magnitude 11.67, fainter than Proxima Centauri (mag. 11.05), the nearest star to the Sun. This star is located in the Monoceros constellation.
The star is located in the LRa01 field of view of the COROT spacecraft. It is about 500 light years from earth. According to the project website, this field is in the Monoceros constellation. Published data lists the stellar properties as being a G9V yellow dwarf with a temperature of 5250 K, a radius of about 82% of the Sun and a mass of about 91% of the Sun. But other sources have been known to list it is a (K0V) orange dwarf. The metallicity, i.e. the quantity [M/H] of the star, which is the base-10 logarithm of the ratio of the star's metal abundance (given by the ratio of metals to hydrogen) to that of the Sun is 0.12 ± 0.06. The star is estimated to be about 150 parsecs away and with an age in the range 1.2 – 2.3 billion years, is younger than our own star which has an age of 4.6 billion years. The rotation period of the star, inferred by the lightcurve obtained by COROT, is around 23 days.
Learnt me to rock and I learnt me to roll
You got to use it, baby, to keep your soul
Go down to town get some reaction
Got to go down 'cause I need a distraction
I've been trying it on with everyone in sight
Dhe's been waiting so long for me to come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying, she can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
There ain't no cure and there ain't no time
You got to have it and have it fine
Don't say a word about her affections
I'm going to come from another direction
She's been trying it on with everyone in sight
I've been waiting so long for me to come tonight
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying, I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and she's got the shakes
Can't get enough sweet sweet love
I'm coming around so get your tail up and ready for a heartbreaker
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes
Baby's on fire and I'm burning up
Sparks been flying I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and she's got the shakes
Baby, baby, baby's on fire
She can't get no higher
Baby, baby, baby's on fire
She's burning like fire
