WASP-56 is a sun-like star of spectral type G6 in the constellation of Coma Berenices.[6] It has an apparent magnitude of 11.48. Observations at the Calar Alto Observatory using the lucky imaging technique detected a candidate companion star located 3.4 arc seconds away, however it is not known if this is an actual binary companion or an optical double.[7]
