Star characteristics

Qatar 1 has an average to high metallicity of 160% of solar,[1], and is of similar age to Sun.[2] The star has significant starspot activity.[4]

Planetary system

The "Hot Jupiter" class planet Qatar-1 b was discovered around Qatar 1 in 2010.[1]. The planetary orbit is likely aligned with the rotational axis of the star, with the misalignment measurement based on the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect equal to −8.4±7.1 degrees.[2]. The planet's measured temperature is 1532±219 K.[5] Spectroscopic study in 2017 do suggest Qatar-1 b has relatively clear skies with a few clouds.[6]

Additional planets or brown dwarf in system were suspected in 2013,[7] but were refuted in 2015.[8][9]
