BD-07 436, also known as WASP-77 since 2012, [7] is a binary star system about 344 light-years away. The star's components appears to have a different age, with the secondary older than 9 billion years, while the primary's age is 5 billion years. [2] The BD-07 436 system's concentration of heavy elements is similar to the Sun. Its stars display moderate chromospheric activity, including x-ray flares. [2]
The primary is a G-type main-sequence star, BD-07 436A (WASP-77A). The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet WASP-77Ab on its close orbit. [6] The secondary is a K-type main-sequence star BD-07 436B orbiting at a distance of 461+200
−140 AU. [4]
In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected on a very tight, circular orbit. [7] The planet may have an extended gaseous envelope and is losing mass. [2] Its equilibrium temperature is 1715+26
−25 K, [5] the nightside temperature measured in 2019 is 1786±84 K, [8] and dayside planetary temperature measured in 2020 is 1842+34
−33 K. [9]
Water vapour was detected on the planetary dayside of WASP-77Ab, indicating C/O ratio similar to solar or even lower. [10]

WASP-4b is an extrasolar planet approximately 891 light-years away in the constellation of Phoenix.
WASP-4 is a G-type main sequence star approximately 891 light-years away in the constellation of Phoenix. Despite its advanced age, the star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by a giant planet on close orbit.
WASP-43b, formally named Astrolábos, is a transiting planet in orbit around the young, active, and low-mass star WASP-43 in the constellation Sextans. The planet is a hot Jupiter with a mass twice that of Jupiter, but with a roughly equal radius. WASP-43b was flagged as a candidate by the SuperWASP program, before they conducted follow-ups using instruments at La Silla Observatory in Chile, which confirmed its existence and provided orbital and physical characteristics. The planet's discovery was published on April 14, 2011.
WASP-36 is a yellow main sequence star in the Hydra constellation.
Qatar-1 is an orange main sequence star in the constellation of Draco.
WASP-46 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1,210 light-years away. The star is older than the Sun and is strongly depleted in heavy elements compared to the Sun, having just 45% of the solar abundance. Despite its advanced age, the star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by a giant planet on a close orbit.
WASP-35 is a G-type main-sequence star about 660 light-years away. The star's age cannot be well constrained, but it is probably older than the Sun. WASP-35 is similar in concentration of heavy elements compared to the Sun.
WASP-78, is a single F-type main-sequence star about 2500 light-years away. It is likely to be younger than the Sun at 3.4+1.5
−0.8 billion years. WASP-78 is depleted in heavy elements, having a 45% concentration of iron compared to the Sun.
WASP-72 is the primary of a binary star system. It is an F7 class dwarf star, with an internal structure just on the verge of the Kraft break. It is orbited by a planet WASP-72b. The age of WASP-72 is younger than the Sun at 3.55±0.82 billion years.
WASP-64 is a star about 1200 light-years away. It is a G7 class main-sequence star, orbited by a planet WASP-64b. It is younger than the Sun at 3.6±1.6 billion years, and it has a metal abundance similar to the Sun. The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the giant planet in a close orbit.
WASP-67 is a K-type main-sequence star about 620 light-years away. The stars age is poorly constrained, but is likely older than the Sun`s at approximately 8.7+5.5
−8.6 billion years. WASP-67 is slightly depleted in heavy elements, having 85% of the solar abundance of iron.
WASP-63 or Kosjenka, also known as CD-38 2551, is a single star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Columba. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 11.1. The distance to this system is approximately 942 light-years based on parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −24 km/s.
WASP-55 is a G-type main-sequence star about 980 light-years away. The star is much younger than the Sun at approximately 1.1+0.8
−0.6 billion years. WASP-55 is similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements.
WASP-52 is a K-type main-sequence star about 570 light-years away. It is older than the Sun at 10.7+1.9
−4.5 billion years, but it has a similar fraction of heavy elements. The star has prominent starspot activity, with 3% to 14% of the stellar surface covered by areas 575±150 K cooler than the rest of the photosphere.
WASP-41 is a G-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 5450±150 K. WASP-41 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of −0.080±0.090, but is much younger at an age of 2.289±0.077 billion years. The star does exhibit strong starspot activity, with spots covering 3% of the stellar surface.
HAT-P-41 is a binary star system. Its primary is a F-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 6390±100 K. compared to the Sun, HAT-P-41 is enriched in heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.21±0.10, but is much younger at an age of 2.2±0.4 billion years.

Its surface temperature is 5350±31 K and is slightly enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.05±0.02. It is rich in carbon and depleted of oxygen. WASP-84's age is probably older than the Sun at 8.5+4.1
−5.5 billion years. The star appears to have an anomalously small radius, which can be explained by the unusually high helium fraction or by it being very young.
WASP-80 is a K-type main-sequence star about 162 light-years away. The star's age is much younger than the Sun's at 1.352±0.222 billion years. WASP-80 is similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements, although this measurement is highly uncertain.
WASP-103 is an F-type main-sequence star located 1,800 ± 100 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. Its surface temperature is 6,110±160 kelvins (K). The star's concentration of heavy elements is similar to that of the Sun. WASP-103 is slightly younger than the Sun at 4±1 billion years. The chromospheric activity of the star is elevated due to interaction with the giant planet on a close-in orbit.
