HAT-P-8 is a magnitude 10 star located 700 light-years away in Pegasus.[3] It is a F-type star about 28% more massive than the Sun.[4] Two red dwarf companions have been detected around HAT-P-8. The first has a spectral type of M5V and has a mass of 0.22 M. The second is even less massive, at 0.18 M, and its spectral type is M6V.[7]
