WASP-72 (also known as CD-30 1019) is a primary of a binary star system. It is F7 class dwarf star, with internal structure just on verge of Kraft break.[5] It is orbited by a planet WASP-72b. The age of WASP-72 is younger than Sun at 3.55±0.82 billion years.[4]
The primary seems to have UV-opaque matter on the line-of-sight, which may originate from atmosphere escaping from WASP-72b or from unknown object in the interstellar medium.[6]
WASP-72 was named Diya in 2019.[7]
A faint stellar companion WASP-72B was discovered in 2020 at projected separation of 281 AU. It may still be a false positive, with probability 0.02%.[4]
Planetary system
The transiting hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting WASP-72 was discovered by the WASP in 2012.[8] The planetary orbit is well aligned to the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment equal to −7+11
−12°.[5] Despite of the close proximity of the planet to the parent star, an orbital decay was not detected as in 2020.[9]
The planet was named "Cuptor" in 2019 my Mauritian amateur astronomers as part of NameExoWorlds contest.[7]
