WASP-103 is a F-type main-sequence star located 1,800 ± 100 light-years (550 ± 30 parsecs) away in the constellation Hercules. Its surface temperature is 6110±160 Kelvin (K). The star's concentration of heavy elements is similar to that of the Sun.[3] WASP-103 is slightly younger than the Sun at 4±1 billion years.[3] The star is too hot for star spots to form; instead its surface is covered by numerous bright faculae.[8] The chromospheric activity of the star is elevated due to interaction with the giant planet on a close-in orbit.[6]

A multiplicity survey in 2015 found a suspected stellar companion to WASP-103, at a projected separation of 0.242±0.016″.[9]

Planetary system[]

In 2014 one super-Jupiter planet, named , was discovered by the transit method.[5] The planet is orbiting its host star in less than a day and may be close to the limit of tidal disruption.[10] Orbital decay was not detected by 2020.[11]

The planetary atmosphere contains water, and possibly hydrogen cyanide, Titanium(II) oxide,[8] or sodium.[12] The planet has an elevated carbon to oxygen molar fraction of 0.9, and may be a carbon planet.[2]

The planetary equilibrium temperature is 2484±67 K, although a big difference exists between the nightside and dayside. Dayside temperature is 2930±40 K, while nightside is 1880±40 K.[2]
