Star in the constellation Aquila
WASP-80 is a K-type main-sequence star about 162 light-years away from Earth. The star's age is much younger than the Sun's at 1.352± 0.222 billion years.[ 7] WASP-80 could be similar to the Sun in concentration of heavy elements, although this measurement is highly uncertain.[ 6]
The star was named Petra in 2019 by Jordanian amateur astronomers as part of the NameExoWorlds contest.[ 8]
Three multiplicity surveys in 2015-2018 did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-80, but a survey in 2020 detected a 0.07M ☉ companion candidate at an angular separation 2.132± 0.010 arcseconds, with a false alarm probability of 3%.[ 9]
