WASP-61 is a single F-type main-sequence star about 1,580 light-years away in the constellation Lepus. The star is likely younger than the Sun at approximately 3.8+1.8
−0.9 billion years. WASP-61 is depleted in heavy elements, having just 40% of the solar abundance of iron.[6]
Planetary system
[edit | edit source]In 2012 a transiting superjovian planet, WASP-61b, was detected on a tight, circular orbit.[4] Its equilibrium temperature is 1565±35 K.[4]
The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment equal to 4.0+17.1
−18.4°.[7]
