WASP-84, also known as BD+02 2056, is a G-type main-sequence star 327 light-years (100 parsecs) away in the constellation Hydra. Its surface temperature is 5350±31 K and is slightly enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.05±0.02. It is rich in carbon and depleted of oxygen.[4] WASP-84's age is probably older than the Sun at 8.5+4.1−5.5 billion years.[3] The star appears to have an anomalously small radius, which can be explained by the unusually high helium fraction or by it being very young.[6]

A multiplicity survey did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-84 as of 2015.[7]

Planetary system

In 2013, one exoplanet, named WASP-84b, was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.[8] The planet is a hot Jupiter that cannot have formed in its current location and likely migrated from elsewhere. The planetary orbit is well aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment being equal to 0.3±1.7°. Planetary equilibrium temperature is 832±13 K.[2]

In 2023, a second planet was discovered around WASP-84. This appears to be a dense rocky planet despite its high mass, comparable to Uranus.[9]
