WASP-29 is a binary star system 285 light-years (87 parsecs) away in the constellation of Phoenix.
[3] The star system kinematically belongs to the thin disk of the Milky Way.
[5] The primary is an old star with small starspot activity and low x-ray flux.
[5] The planet would have an equilibrium temperature of 960±30 K.[7] The planetary atmosphere has abundant carbon monoxide but likely lacks methane[8] and sodium,[9] although the high and dense cloud deck of WASP-29b prevents high-quality spectroscopic measurements.
[10] A study in 2018 revealed the stability of planetary orbits in the habitable zone of WASP-29 is significantly affected by the WASP-29b planet.
