WASP-84, also known as BD+02 2056, is a G-type main-sequence star 327 light-years (100 parsecs) away in the constellation Hydra. Its surface temperature is 5350±31 K and is slightly enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.05±0.02. It is rich in carbon and depleted of oxygen.[5] WASP-84's age is probably older than the Sun at 8.5+4.1
−5.5
billion years.[4] The star appears to have an anomalously small radius, which can be explained by the unusually high helium fraction or by it being very young.[7]

A multiplicity survey did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-84 as of 2015.[8]

Planetary system

edit

In 2013, one exoplanet, named WASP-84b, was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.[9] The planet is a hot Jupiter that cannot have formed in its current ___location and likely migrated from elsewhere. The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment being equal to 0.3±1.7°. Planetary equilibrium temperature is 832±13 K.[3]

In 2023, a second planet was discovered around WASP-84. This appears to be a dense rocky planet despite its high mass, comparable to Uranus.[10]
