WASP-48 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. The star is likely older than the Sun and slightly depleted in heavy elements. It shows an infrared excess noise of unknown origin,[9] yet has no detectable ultraviolet emissions associated with starspot activity.[10] The discrepancy may be due to large interstellar absorption of light in interstellar medium for WASP-48.[11] The measurements are compounded by the emission from eclipsing contact binary NSVS-3071474 projected on sky plane nearby,[12] although no true stellar companions were detected by survey in 2015.[13]
The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on close orbit.[14]
Planetary system
[edit | edit source]In 2011 a transiting hot Jupiter planet, WASP-48b, was detected.[7]
