WASP-48 is a G-type main-sequence star about 1,500 light-years away. The star is likely older than Sun and slightly depleted in heavy elements. It shows an infrared excess noise of unknown origin,^[9] yet has no detectable ultraviolet emissions associated with the starspot activity.^[10] The discrepancy may be due to large interstellar absorption of light in interstellar medium for WASP-48.^[11] The measurements are compounded by the emission from eclipsing contact binary NSVS-3071474 projected on sky plane nearby,^[12] although no true stellar companions were detected by survey in 2015.^[13]

The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides raised by the giant planet on close orbit.^[14]

Planetary system

In 2011 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected.^[7]
