WASP-55 is a G-type main-sequence star about 980 light-years away. The star is much younger than the Sun at approximately 1.1+0.8
−0.6 billion years.[3] WASP-55 is similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements.[2]

A multiplicity survey in 2016 found one candidate stellar companion to WASP-55 at a projected separation of 4.435″±0.018″.[5] Follow-up observations in 2017 were unable to confirm if the suspected companion red dwarf star, with a temperature of 3,340±90 K, is gravitationally bound to WASP-55 or not.[6]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected on a tight, circular orbit.[7] Its equilibrium temperature is 1,305 K.[8]
