WASP-58

WASP-58

High proper motion star in the constellation Lyra

WASP-58 is a binary star system comprising a G-type main-sequence star and a red dwarf about 955 light-years away. WASP-58 is slightly depleted in heavy elements, having 80% of the solar abundance of iron.[5] WASP-58 is much older than the Sun at 12.80+0.20
−2.10 billion years.[4]

Lithium was detected in the stellar spectrum of WASP-58A, making the star anomalous for its advanced age.[2]

A multiplicity survey in 2015 did detect a red dwarf stellar companion[8] at a projected separation of 1.281±0.002″ to WASP-58A, and it was confirmed to be gravitationally bound in 2016.[3]

Planetary system

In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected on a tight, circular orbit around the primary star WASP-58A.[2]

Planetary equilibrium temperature is 1270±80 K.[2]
