HAT-P-27

HAT-P-27

Star in the constellation Virgo


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.[2] HAT-P-27 is enriched in heavy elements, having a 195% concentration of iron compared to the Sun.

The very dim stellar companion was detected in 2015 at a projected separation of 0.656″[4] and proven to be physically bound to the system in 2016.[6]

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.[2] The 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.[5] No orbital decay was detected as in 2018, despite the close proximity of the planet to the star.[7]

The presence of an additional planet in the system has been suspected since 2015.[8]
