HAT-P-21 is a G-type main-sequence star about 910 light-years away. The star has amount of metals similar to solar abundance. The survey in 2015 has failed to detect any stellar companions.[4] The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides of giant planet on close orbit.[3]
Naming
In 2019, the HAT-P-21 star havs received a proper name Mazalaai and planet HAT-P-21b - Bambaruush at an international NameExoWorlds contest.[5]. These names mean the Mongolian name for the endangered Gobi bear subspecies, and Mongolian term for 'bear cub', respectively.
Planetary system
In 2010 a transiting hot super-Jovian planet on moderately eccentric orbit was detected.[6] Its equilibrium temperature is 1283±50 K. The transit-timing variation survey in 2011 have failed to rule out or confirm the existence of additional planets in the system, until the orbital parameters of HAT-P-21b are known with better precision.[7]
