WASP-67 is a K-type main-sequence star about 620 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. The star's age is poorly constrained. WASP-67 is slightly depleted in heavy elements, having 85% of the solar abundance of iron. A multiplicity survey in 2016 found one candidate stellar companion to WASP-67 at a projected separation of 4.422″±0.018″. Nonetheless, follow-up observations in 2017 failed to find any bound stellar companions.
Planetary system In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet, WASP-67b, was detected on a tight, circular orbit. Its equilibrium temperature is 1050 K. The planetary atmosphere contains water, and a cloud layer is located higher than in the similar gas giant HAT-P-38b, indicating a high planetary metallicity.
