WASP-41 is a G-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 5450±150 K. WASP-41 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of −0.080±0.090,[4] but is much younger at an age of 2.289±0.077 billion years.[6] The star does exhibit strong starspot activity, with spots covering 3% of the stellar surface.[5]

Multiplicity surveys did not detect any stellar companions as of 2017.[8]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2012, one planet, named WASP-41b, was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.[3] The transmission spectrum taken in 2017 was gray and featureless. No atmospheric constituents could be distinguished.[9] The planetary orbit of WASP-41b is slightly misaligned with the equatorial plane of the star, at a misalignment angle of 9.15+2.85
−2.62°.[5] Planetary equilibrium temperature is 1242±12 K.[2]

Another planet, WASP-41c, was discovered in 2015.[10] The planets are too far apart to significantly affect each other's orbits.[11] The planetary equilibrium temperature of WASP-41c is 247±5 K.[10]
