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