WASP-54
Star in constellation of Virgo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WASP-54, also known as BD+00 3088, is a binary star system about 818 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The primary, WASP-54A, is an F-type subgiant, accompanied by the red dwarf WASP-54B on a wide orbit. WASP-54 is depleted in heavy elements, having 55% of the solar abundance of iron.[8] WASP-54 is slightly older than the Sun at 6.9+1.0
−1.9 billion years.[8]
