WASP-54, also known as BD+00 3088, is a binary star system about 825 light-years away. The primary, WASP-54A, is a F-type main-sequence star, accompanied by the red dwarf WASP-54B on a wide orbit. WASP-54 is depleted in heavy elements, having 55% of the solar abundance of iron.[4] The age of WASP-54 is slightly older than the Sun's at 6.9+1.0
−1.9 billion years.[4]

A multiplicity survey in 2017 did detect a red dwarf stellar companion WASP-54B 5.7″ away from WASP-54A.[6] The companion was proven to be co-moving in 2020.[3]
