WASP-37 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1,240 light-years away in the constellation of Virgo.
Star characteristics
WASP-37 has a low metallicity of just 40% of solar,4 and is likely older than the Sun.7 WASP-37 does not have noticeable flare activity.9
Planetary system
The hot Jupiter class planet WASP-37b was discovered around WASP-37 in 2010.4 A study in 2018 found that the stability of orbits in the habitable zone of WASP-37 is not significantly affected by WASP-37b.10
