In this phenomenon, upon variation of a parameter within an exponentially small range, the amplitude of a small limit cycle increases abruptly. In this letter we analyze the canard explosion in a limit cycle related to a degenerate center (with zero Jacobian matrix). We provide a second-order approximation of the critical value of the parameter for which the canard explosion occurs. Numerical results are compared with the analytical predictions and excellent agreements are found. As in this problem the canard explosion ends in a homoclinic connection, a very good approximation for the homoclinic curve in the parameter plane is also obtained.}, organization = {This work has been partially supported by the Ministerio de Econom´ıa y Competitividad, Spain (MTM2017- 87915-C2-1-P), by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovaci´on y Universidades, Spain (PGC2018-096265-B-I00) and by the Consejer´ıa de Econom´ıa, Innovaci´on, Ciencia y Empleo de la Junta de Andaluc´ıa, Spain (projects FQM-276, TIC-0130 and UHU-1260150).
