WASP-64 is a star about 1,177 light-years away. It is a G7 class main-sequence star, orbited by a planet WASP-64b. It is younger than the Sun at 3.6{{±|1.6}} billion years, and it has a metal abundance similar to the Sun. The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the giant planet in a close orbit.
WASP-64 was named Atakoraka in 2019 after the Atacora, the largest mountain range in Togo. While an imaging survey in 2017 failed to find any stellar companions, a 2019 survey using Gaia DR2 data found WASP-64 to be the secondary star in a binary system, with a wide separation of 24.2 arcseconds or 9,058 AU. The primary star is designated TYC 7091-1288-1, and can also be called WASP-64 A, with the planet host being WASP-64 B.
Planetary system
A transiting hot Jupiter exoplanet orbiting WASP-64 was discovered by WASP in 2012. The planetary equilibrium temperature is 1672{{±|59|63}} K, while the measured dayside temperature is hotter at 1989{{±|87|88}} K. Due to the close proximity of the planet to the parent star, orbital decay of WASP-64b, along with HATS-2, may be detectable in the near future.{{citation|arxiv=1907.08269|title=Transit timing variations in the WASP-4 planetary system|year=2019|doi=10.1093/mnras/stz2602|last1=Southworth|first1=John|last2=Dominik|first2=M.|last3=Jørgensen|first3=U.
