The hot Jupiter class planet WASP-26b was discovered around WASP-26 in 2010. The planet would have an equilibrium temperature of 1660 K, but measured temperatures are slightly higher at 1775K and no noticeable difference exists between the day-side and the night-side of the planet. A 2011 study using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect failed to determine the inclination of the planetary orbit to the equatorial plane of the parent star due to high stellar noise, but an initial constraint of -34° was published in 2012.
