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]

Planetary system

In 2012, one exoplanet, designated WASP-49b, was discovered around the primary star by a team led by Monika Lendl.[8] This is a hot Jupiter with an equilibrium temperature of 1369±39 K.[8]

In 2017, WASP-49b was found to have an extensive sodium envelope.[3] A study in 2019 using data from the Hubble Space Telescope in near-UV found clear absorption features caused by metals, including magnesium and iron. The magnesium and iron gas is not gravitationally bound to the planet, but could be magnetically confined to it.[9][10] The sodium envelope around WASP-49b could be due to an Io-like exomoon.[11][12] This idea, however, is speculative.[13]
