WASP-64 is a single star about 1200 light-years away. It is a G7 class main-sequence star, orbited by a planet WASP-64b. The age of WASP-64 is younger than the Sun at 3.6±1.6 billion years,[5] and it has a metal abundance similar to the Sun.[2] The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the giant planet in a close orbit.[5]

WASP-64 was named Atakoraka in 2019.[6] An imaging survey in 2017 has failed to find any stellar companions to WASP-64.[7]

Planetary system

The transiting hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting WASP-64 was discovered by WASP in 2012.[4]

The planetary equilibrium temperature is 1672+59
−63
K,[4] while the measured dayside temperature is hotter at 1989+87
−88
K.[8] Due to the close proximity of the planet to the parent star, orbital decay of WASP-64b, along with HATS-2, may be detectable in the near future.[9]

WASP-64b was named "Agouto" in 2019 by amateur astronomers from Togo as part of the NameExoWorlds contest.[6]
