Star in the constellation Pegasus
WASP-10 is a star 461 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus . It hosts a transiting planet discovered by the SuperWASP project.[ 3]
The star is likely older than the Sun, has a fraction of heavy elements close to the solar abundance, and is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on a close orbit.[ 7]
Planetary system
WASP-10 hosts one confirmed exoplanet , WASP-10b. It is a hot Jupiter discovered in 2008.[ 3]
A candidate second planet with a 5-day period, WASP-10c, was inferred from transit-timing variations of WASP-10b in 2010,[ 8] [ 9] super-Jupiter planet or brown dwarf on a wide (at least 5 AU ) orbit, based on radial velocity observations.[ 10]
