WASP-1 is a metal-rich magnitude 12 star located about 1,300 light-years away in the Andromeda constellation.[3]

Planetary system

In 2006, an extrasolar planet was discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets team using the transit method.[4] The planet has a density of 0.31 to 0.40 g/cm3, making it about half as dense as Saturn, and one third as dense as water.
