WASP-76, also known as BD+01 316, is a yellow-white main sequence star in the constellation of Pisces. A suspected stellar companion at a projected separation of 85 astronomical units was reported in 2014.[8]
After about five billion years, WASP-76 has expanded and become more luminous than at the start of its main sequence life, but most probably has not yet reached the subgiant branch.[3] [5]
Planetary system
[edit ]
The "hot Jupiter" class planet WASP-76b was discovered around WASP-76 in 2013.
Analysis of transit-timing variations suggest an additional planet in the system.[7]
