Star characteristics

The star kinematically belongs to the thin disk of the Milky Way.[3]

Planetary system

The "Hot Saturn" class planet WASP-29b was discovered around WASP-29 in 2010.[3] The planet would have an equilibrium temperature of 980±40 K. The planetary atmosphere has abundant carbon monoxide but likely lacks methane[4] and sodium.[5] Study in 2018 have revealed the stability of planetary orbits in the habitable zone of WASP-29 is significantly affected by the WASP-29b planet.[6]
