WASP-49
Star in the constellation Lepus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WASP-49 is a binary star system about 636 light-years (195 parsecs) away in the constellation Lepus. The two stars are separated by 443 AU.[6] The primary is a G-type main-sequence star, with a surface temperature of 5,600 K (5,330 °C; 9,620 °F). WASP-49 is depleted of heavy elements relative to the Sun. It has a metallicity Fe/H index of –0.23, meaning it has 59% the iron level of the Sun.[5]
