WASP-1 is a magnitude 12 binary star system located about light-years away in the Andromeda constellation. The binary system consists of a metal-rich F-type main-sequence star, named WASP-1A, and a distant low-mass star, named WASP-1B. WASP-1A has one known transiting hot Jupiter exoplanet named WASP-1b.
== Stellar companion == WASP-1A has a distant companion star, named WASP-1B. WASP-1B is a low-mass star that is around 0.3 times as massive as the Sun and has an effective temperature of about . WASP-1B is located northward of WASP-1A at an angular separation of about 4.6 arcseconds, corresponding to a projected distance of 1587 AU. WASP-1B was first identified in observations from 2006 and confirmed in further observations from 2012 to 2014, which showed that it shares the proper motion of WASP-1A, indicating the two stars are gravitationally bound to each other.
