WASP-76

WASP-76

WASP-76, also known as BD+01 316, is a yellow-white main sequence star in the constellation of Pisces. A suspected stellar companion at a projected separation of 85 astronomical units was reported in 2014. After about five billion years, WASP-76 has expanded and become more luminous than at the start of its main sequence life, but most probably has not yet reached the subgiant branch.

Planetary system

The "hot Jupiter" class planet WASP-76b was discovered around WASP-76 in 2013. Analysis of transit-timing variations suggest an additional planet in the system.
