WASP-54, also known as BD+00 3088, is a binary star system about 825 light-years away. The primary, WASP-54A, is a -typesubgiant, 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] The age of WASP-54 is slightly older than the Sun's at 6.9+1.0 −1.9 billion years.[8]
Star system
A multiplicity survey in 2017 detected a red dwarf stellar companion WASP-54B 5.7″ away from WASP-54A.[11] The companion was proven to be co-moving in 2020.[7]
