WASP-3


WASP-3 is a magnitude 10 yellow-white dwarf star located about 800 light-years away in the Lyra constellation. It appears to be variable; it "passed from a less active to a more active state between 2007 and 2010".

Planetary system

The extrasolar planet WASP-3b was detected by the SuperWASP project in 2007.
The William Herschel Telescope had confirmed it was a planet by 2008.
In 2010, researchers proposed a second planet orbiting WASP-3. But in 2012 this proposal was debunked.
