WASP-15, also named Nyamien, is a magnitude 11 star located about 935 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus.[3] The star, which is more massive, larger, hotter, and more luminous than the Sun, is also less metal-rich than the Sun. WASP-15 has one known planet in its orbit, WASP-15b; the planet is a hot Jupiter with an anomalously high radius, a phenomenon which may be explained by the presence of an internal heat source.[4] The star was first observed by the SuperWASP program in 2006; future measurements in 2007 and 2008, as well as follow-up observations and analysis, eventually led to the discovery of WASP-15b using the transit method and Doppler spectroscopy.[4]
