WASP-55 is a G-type main-sequence star about 954 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The star is much younger than the Sun at approximately 1.1+0.8
−0.6 billion years.[8] WASP-55 is similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements.[10]

A multiplicity survey in 2016 found one candidate stellar companion to WASP-55 at a projected separation of 4.435″±0.018″.[11] 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.[12] It was confirmed in 2019 using Gaia DR2 data.[13]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet, WASP-55b, was detected on a tight, circular orbit.[14] Its equilibrium temperature is 1,305 K.[5]
