HAT-P-18 is a K-type main-sequence star about 530 light-years away. The star is very old and has a concentration of heavy elements similar to solar abundance.[4] A survey in 2015 detected very strong starspot activity on HAT-P-18.[6]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2010 a transiting hot Saturn-sized planet was detected.[2] Its equilibrium temperature is 841 K.[7]

In 2014, observations utilizing the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect detected an exoplanet, HAT-P-18b, on a retrograde orbit, with an angle between orbital plane of the planet and the parent star equatorial plane equal to 132±15°.[8]

Transit-timing variation measurements in 2015 did not detect additional planets in the system.[9]

In 2016, the transmission optical spectra of the planet indicated that the atmosphere is lacking detectable clouds or hazes, and is blue in color due to Rayleigh scattering of light.[10] The atmosphere seems to gradually evaporate, but at a slow rate - less than 2% of planetary mass is lost per one billion years.[11] By contrast, spectra taken in 2022 has showed an extensive hazes and clear evidence of water vapour, along with the tail of escaping helium.[12]

The dayside temperature of HAT-P-18b was measured in 2019 to be 1004+78
−94 K.[13]
