WASP-46

WASP-46 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1240 light-years away. The star is older than Sun and is strongly depleted in heavy elements compared to Sun, having just 45% of solar abundance. Despite its advanced age, the star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by giant planet on close orbit. The star is displaying an excess ultraviolet emission associated with starspot activity, and suspected to be surrounded by dust and debris disk.
