Star characteristics

WASP-25 is slightly metal-poor and is probably a young star which has just entered the main sequence.

Planetary system

The hot Jupiter class planet WASP-25b was discovered around WASP-25 in 2010. The planet would have an equilibrium temperature of 1212 K.
A Rossiter-McLaughlin effect based study in 2011 found a modest misalignment of the planetary orbit to the rotational axis of the parent star, equal to 14.6 degrees. A habitability study in 2018 found WASP-25b does not adversely affect the stability of planetary orbits in the habitable zone of WASP-25.
