WASP-69 is a K-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 4782±15 K. WASP-69 is slightly enriched in heavy elements compared to the Sun, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.10±0.01,[5] and is much younger than the Sun at 2 billion years. The data regarding starspot activity of WASP-69 are inconclusive, but spot coverage of the photosphere may be very high.[6]

Multiplicity surveys did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-69 as of 2020.[7]

Planetary system

In 2013, one planet, named WASP-69b, was discovered on a tight, circular orbit.[2] Its equilibrium temperature is 886 K,[8] but the measured terminator temperature is significantly higher by at least 200 K.[6]The planet is losing mass at a moderate rate of 0.5 ME per billion years, not producing a visible cometary tail.[8]

The planetary atmosphere is extremely hazy and contains a partial cloud deck with cloud tops rising to a pressure of 100 Pa. Its composition is mostly hydrogen and helium, and sodium was also detected in low concentration.[6][9] The sodium may originate from volcanic moons, not from the planet itself.[10]

By 2021, the presence of hazes in atmosphere of WASP-69b was confirmed, along with the solar or super-solar water abundance.[11]

In July 2022, the atmospheric spectrum from James Webb was released as one of the first scientific images.[12]

While the light curve released confirms properties of the planet that had already been determined from other observations – the existence, size, and orbit of the planet – the transmission spectrum revealed previously hidden details of the atmosphere: the unambiguous signature of water, indications of haze, and evidence of clouds that were thought not to exist based on prior observations.
