WASP-1 is a metal-rich magnitude 12 star located about 1,240 light-years away in the Andromeda constellation.[2]
Planetary system[edit]
In 2006, an extrasolar planet was discovered by transit method of the SuperWASP.[3] The planet has a density of 0.27 to 0.46 g/cm3, making it about half as dense as Saturn, and one third as dense as water.
