We report the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter around OGLE-TR-111 , from our radial velocity follow-up of OGLE transiting candidates in Carina .
The planet has a mass of 0.53 \pm 0.11 M _ { J } and a radius of 1.0 ^ { +0.13 } _ { -0.06 } R _ { J } .
Three transiting exoplanets have already been found among OGLE candidates , all with periods near 1.5 days .
The planet presented here , with P = 4.0 days , is the first exoplanet detected by transits with the characteristics of a ” normal ” hot Jupiter , as found in abundance by radial velocity surveys The radius of OGLE-TR-111b and the scarcity of hot Jupiters detected among OGLE transit candidates tend to indicate that the case of HD209458b , with a radius of 1.4 R _ { J } , is exceptional , with most hot Jupiters being smaller .
