CD-38 2551, also known as WASP-63, is a single G-type main-sequence star about 960 light-years away. The star age is much older than the Sun's at approximately 8.3+1.3
−1.2 billion years. WASP-63 is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 120% of the solar abundance of iron.[2]
Planetary system
In 2012 a transiting gas giant planet b was detected on a tight, circular orbit.[5] Its equilibrium temperature is 1536±37 K, and measured dayside temperature is 1547±308 K.[6] The planet is similar to Saturn in mass but is highly inflated due to proximity to the parent star. The planetary atmosphere contains water and likely has a high cloud deck of indeterminate composition.[7]
