WASP-46 is a G-type main-sequence star about away. The star is older than the Sun and is strongly depleted in heavy elements compared to the Sun, having just 45% of the solar abundance. Despite its advanced age, the star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by a giant planet in a close orbit.
