WASP-45

WASP-45 is a K-type main-sequence star about 690 light-years away. The star age cannot be well constrained, but it is probably older than Sun. Yet, WASP-45 is enriched in heavy elements compared to Sun, having 240% of solar abundance.[2]

The star has low ultraviolet emission, therefore suspected to have a low starspot activity,[4] although chromospheric activity was reported elsewhere.[5]

Planetary system

In 2011 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected.[5] The planet equilibrium temperature is 1170±24 K. No Rayleigh scattering was detected in planetary atmosphere, implying existence of hazes or high cloud deck.[6]
