Light curve of an eclipsing binary of magnitude 13, showing the reflected light between the two components. This figure illustrates both the continuity of the CoRoT observations during a longer period of time, and the achieved accuracy of the flux measurements which is better than 10^-3 in 8 minutes of integration time.
