HAT-P-27, also known as WASP-40, is the primary of a binary star system about 659 light-years away. It is a G-type main-sequence star. The star's age is similar to the Sun's at 4.4 billion years. [3] HAT-P-27 is enriched in heavy elements, having a 195% concentration of iron compared to the Sun.

A very dim stellar companion was detected in 2015 at a projected separation of 0.656″ [5] and proven to be physically bound to the system in 2016. [4]

Planetary system

In 2011 a transiting hot Jupiter type planet b was detected in a mildly eccentric orbit. The planetary equilibrium temperature is 1207±41 K. [3] A survey in 2013 failed to find any Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and therefore was unable to constrain the inclination of planetary orbit to the equatorial plane of the parent star. [6] No orbital decay was detected as of 2018, despite the close proximity of the planet to the star. [8]

The presence of an additional planet in the system has been suspected since 2015. [9]

In 2024, a detection of a possible Neptune-like planet was reported. It is expected to be an analog of Neptune in terms of radius, although much hotter due to the low orbital separation; one year on this planet lasts one day and five hours, causing the planetary equilibrium temperature to be 1,426  K (1,153 °C). More observations are needed to validate its existence. [10]
