WASP-36 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1,230 light-years away in the Hydra constellation.
Star characteristics WASP-36 is a yellow main sequence star of spectral class G2, similar to the Sun. It has a candidate stellar companion with apparent magnitude 14.03, seemingly confirmed in 2019 using Gaia DR2 data.
Planetary system In 2010, the SuperWASP survey found the hot Jupiter class planet WASP-36b using the transit method. Its temperature was measured to be 1705±44 K. The planetary transmission spectrum taken in 2016 has turned out to be anomalous: the planet appears to be surrounded by a blue-tinted halo that is too wide to be an atmosphere and may represent a measurement error. The planetary dayside temperature measured in 2020 is 1440+150−160 K.
