WASP-66, also known as TYC 7193-1804-1, is an F-type star in the constellation Antlia. It has an apparent magnitude of 11.6,[7] which is much too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. The star is younger than Sun at 3.7+0.7
−1.2 billion years, and may be either metal-poor[5] or similar to Sun[6] in concentration of heavy elements.

According to survey published in 2017, WASP-66 has a one suspected companion - a red dwarf star with temperature 3330±150 K, at projected separation 6800±700 AU.[8]

Planetary system

In 2012, a superjovian planet around WASP-66 was discovered. WASP-66b has a mass that is about 2.3 times that of Jupiter. It takes just over 4 days to complete an orbit around its star, making it a typical hot Jupiter. The planet was discovered by the transit method – this is when a planet passes in front of a star, temporarily blocking some of the star's light.[4]

The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment angle been equal to −4±22°.[9] The planet`s equilibrium temperature is 1790±60 K.[4]
