DOIAbstract
We report the discovery by the CoRoT satellite of a new transiting giant planet in a 2.83 days orbit about a V = 15.5 solar analog star ($M_*$ = 1.08 ± 0.08 $M_\odot$, $R_*$ = 1.1 ± 0.1 $R_\odot$, Teff = 5675 ± 80 K). This new planet, CoRoT-12b, has a mass of 0.92 ± 0.07 MJup and a radius of 1.44 ± 0.13 RJup. Its low density can be explained by standard models for irradiated planets
