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.
On 26 September 2006, the team reported the discovery of two extrasolar planets: WASP-1b (orbiting at 0.038 AU (6 million km) from star once every 2.5 days) and WASP-2b (orbiting three-quarters that radius once every 2 days). [11] On 31 October 2007, the team reported the discovery of three extrasolar planets: WASP-3b, WASP-4b and WASP-5b.

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 ...
WASP-20, also known as CD-24 102, is a binary star [1] system in the equatorial constellation Cetus, located at a distance of about 940 light-years (290 parsecs) from the Sun. The primary star is an F-type main sequence star and hosts one confirmed exoplanet , WASP-20b.
WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter [6] (a class of extrasolar planets) orbiting the star WASP-12, discovered in April of 2008, by the SuperWASP planetary transit survey. [ 7 ] [ 1 ] The planet takes only a little over one Earth day to orbit its star, in contrast to about 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the Sun .
