Location and properties
The announcement materials identify this star as located within the LRa01 field of view of the CoRoT spacecraft. According to the project website this field is in the Monoceros constellation.[2]
The announcement materials report that the star has a radius of about 116% of the Sun and a mass of about 101% of the Sun.[2]
This star is reported to be a main sequence F type star a little larger and hotter than the Sun.
Planetary system
The announcement states that this parent star is orbited by one known extrasolar planet identified as CoRoT-5b. The discovery was made using the astronomical transit method by the CoRoT program.[2]

gollark: Quantum computing will improve, but mostly still be stuck as a very expensive shiny toy in 2030, though perhaps with some utility in doing specific calculations in research.
gollark: That "less vague" one was for the next decade, by the way.
gollark: Less vaguely, laptops/desktops or other discrete computer-type things will begin to (continue to, actually?) decline as people begin using phones with better dockable IO.
gollark: More vague predictions: computers will generally get faster, but also half the computing power will end up wasted on increasingly flashy animations, poorly programmed applications, and other random nonsense like that.
gollark: Okay, no response right now.
