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.

WASP-132 is a star located about 403 light-years (124 parsecs) away in the constellation of Lupus. It is known to be orbited by two exoplanets and one more awaiting confirmation. With an apparent magnitude of 11.938, it is far too faint to be visible by the naked eye from Earth , but can be observed using a 60-mm aperture telescope [ 7 ] as an ...
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.
WASP-20b is a transiting hot Jupiter discovered in 2014. [6] WASP-20b orbits WASP-20 in less than five Earth days very close to its star (0.06 AU ) in a circular (near-zero eccentricity) orbit. The orbit is inclined by 85.56 ± 0.22° relative to the plane of the sky and is thus edge-on, as necessary for a transit to be observed.
WASP-28b or K2-1b is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2010 [4] by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) project orbiting WASP-28, a magnitude 12 star also known as 1SWASP J233427.87-013448.1, 2MASS J23342787-0134482 and K2-1. [5] [1] Since it orbits its star very closely, the planet is a strongly irradiated hot Jupiter. [1]
