WASP-12 is a magnitude 11 yellow dwarf star located approximately 1347 light-years away[2] in the constellation Auriga.[4] WASP-12 has a mass and radius similar to the Sun and is known for being orbited by a planet that is extremely hot and has a retrograde orbit around WASP-12. WASP-12 forms a triple star system with two red dwarf companions. Both of them have spectral types of M3V and are only 38% and 37% as massive as the Sun, respectively.[7]
