WASP-52 is a K-type main-sequence star about 570 light-years away. The stars age is older than the Sun's at 10.7+1.9
−4.5
billion years. WASP-52 is is similar to Sun in fraction of heavy elements.[2] The star has a prominent starspot activity, with the 3% to 14% of stellar surface covered by dark spots 575±150 K cooler than the rest of photosphere.[6]

The star was named Anadolu in 2019 by Turkish astronomers as part of the "nameexoworlds" contest.[7]

A multiplicity survey in 2015 did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-52.[8]

Planetary system

In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected on a tight, circular orbit.[3] The planet was named Gokturk by Turkish astronomers in December 2019.[7]

Its equilibrium temperature is 1315±35 K.[3] The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment been equal to 5.47+4.61
−4.21
°.[4]

The transmission spectrum taken in 2020 has revealed the presence of H, Na and K and no high winds in planetary atmosphere,[9] although Na and K lines may be attributable to volcanically active moons of gas giant, not the planet itself.[10] The atmosphere have relatively low-lying clouds, indicating planet is not significantly enriched by heavy elements.[11] No signs of planetary atmosphere escaping to space were detected.[12]
