WASP-2b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star WASP-2 located about 500 light years away in the constellation of Delphinus.It was discovered via the transit method, and then follow up measurements using the radial velocity method confirmed that WASP-2b was a planet.
WASP-2 is a binary star system in the Delphinus constellation located about 500 light-years away. [3] The primary is magnitude 12 orange dwarf star , orbited by red dwarf star on wide orbit. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] The star system shows an infrared excess noise of unknown origin.

The WASP‑4b and WASP-5b are the first planets discovered by the cameras and researchers in South Africa. WASP-3b is the third planet discovered by the equivalent in La Palma. In August 2009, the discovery of WASP-17b was announced, believed to be the first planet ever discovered to orbit in the opposite direction to the spin of its star, WASP-17.

The radial velocity trend of WASP-1, caused by the presence of WASP-1 b The planet's mass and radius indicate that it is a gas giant with a similar bulk composition to Jupiter . Unlike Jupiter, but similar to many other planets detected around other stars, WASP-1b is located very close to its star, and belongs to the class of planets known as ...
WASP-17b, officially named Ditsö̀ [pronunciation?], is an exoplanet in the constellation Scorpius that is orbiting the star WASP-17. Its discovery was announced on 11 August 2009. [ 1 ] It is the first planet discovered to have a retrograde orbit , meaning it orbits in a direction counter to the rotation of its host star. [ 1 ]
