Abstract (from CDS):

We present results of the photometric campaign for planetary and low-luminosity object transits conducted by the OGLE survey in the 2005 season (Campaign #5). About twenty of the most promising candidates discovered in these data were subsequently verified spectroscopically with the VLT/FLAMES spectrograph. One of the candidates, OGLE-TR-211, reveals clear changes of radial velocity with a small amplitude of 82m/s, varying in phase with photometric transit ephemeris. Further analysis confirms the planetary nature of this system. Follow-up precise photometry of OGLE-TR-211 with VLT/FORS, together with radial velocity spectroscopy, supplemented with high-resolution, high S/N VLT/UVES spectra allowed us to derive parameters of the planet and host star. OGLE-TR-211b is a hot Jupiter orbiting an F7-8 spectral type dwarf star with a period of 3.68 days. The mass of the planet is equal to 1.03±0.20MJup, while its radius 1.36+0.18–0.09RJup. The radius is about 20% larger than the typical radius of hot Jupiters of similar mass. OGLE-TR-211b is, then, another example of inflated hot Jupiters - a small group of seven exoplanets with large radii and unusually low densities - objects that are a challenge to the current models of exoplanets.
