WASP-29 is a binary star system 285 light-years (87 parsecs) away in the constellation of Phoenix. The primary star is a K-type main-sequence star. Its comoving companion, a red dwarf star, was discovered in 2021.[3] The star system kinematically belongs to the thin disk of the Milky Way.[5] The primary is an old star with small starspot activity and low x-ray flux.[6]
Planetary system
[edit]The "hot Saturn" class planet WASP-29b was discovered around WASP-29 in 2010.[5] The planet would have an equilibrium temperature of 960±30 K.[7] The planetary atmosphere has abundant carbon monoxide but likely lacks methane[8] and sodium,[9] although the high and dense cloud deck of WASP-29b prevents high-quality spectroscopic measurements.[10]
A study in 2018 revealed the stability of planetary orbits in the habitable zone of WASP-29 is significantly affected by the WASP-29b planet.[11]
