-
A.
WASP-72
WASP-72 is a distant star in the constellation Tucana known for hosting the transiting exoplanet WASP-72b.
-
B.
WASP-17b
WASP-17b is an extremely low-density, “puffy” exoplanet notable for its retrograde orbit around its star, making it one of the most unusual hot Jupiters discovered.
-
C.
WASP-12b
WASP-12b is an extremely hot, bloated “hot Jupiter” exoplanet so close to its star that it is being tidally distorted and losing its atmosphere.
-
D.
WASP-19b
WASP-19b is an ultra-short-period hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting extremely close to its host star, making it one of the fastest-orbiting gas giants known.
-
E.
WASP-121b
WASP-121b is an ultra-hot Jupiter exoplanet known for its extreme atmospheric temperatures and distinctive inflated, tidally distorted shape as it orbits very close to its host star.
