WASP-32 (also known as TYC 2-1155-1) is a yellow main-sequence star in the constellation of Pisces. The star was given the formal name Parumleo in January 2020, Latin for small lion and referencing the national animal of Singapore.[5]
Star characteristics
The WASP-32 star is relatively depleted of lithium, which is common for massive stars hosting hot Jupiter planets.[4]
Planetary system
The "hot Jupiter" class planet WASP-32 b, later named Viculus, was discovered around WASP-32 in 2010.[4]
It was found to orbit the parent star in prograde direction in 2014.[6]
The follow-up study utilizing transit timing variation analysis, have failed to find any, therefore have excluded existence of other massive planets around WASP-32 as in 2015.[7]
