WASP-1 is a metal-rich magnitude 12 star located about 1,250 light-years away[2] in the Andromeda constellation.[6]

Planetary system

In 2006, an extrasolar planet was discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets team using the transit method.[4] The planet has a density of 0.31 to 0.40 g/cm3, making it about half as dense as Saturn, and one third as dense as water. The orbit of WASP-1b is inclined to rotational axis of the star by 79.0+4.3
−4.5
degrees, making it a nearly "polar" orbit.[7]

Two searches for additional planets using transit-timing variations have yielded negative results.[8][9]
