WASP-48 is a subgiant star about 1400 light-years away. The star is likely older than Sun and slightly depleted in heavy elements. It shows an infrared excess noise of unknown origin,^[3] yet has no detectable ultraviolet emissions associated with the starspot activity.^[4] The discrepancy may be due to large interstellar absorption of light in interstellar medium for WASP-48.^[5] The measurements are compounded by the emission from eclipsing contact binary NSVS-3071474 projected on sky plane nearby,^[6] although no true stellar companions were detected by survey in 2015.^[7]

The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on close orbit.^[8]

Planetary system[]

In 2011 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected.^[2]
