HAT-P-21 is a G-type main-sequence star about 910 light-years away. The star has amount of metals similar to solar abundance. The survey in 2015 has failed to detect any stellar companions.[5] The star is rotating rapidly, being spun up by the tides of giant planet on close orbit.[3]

Naming

In 2019, the HAT-P-21 star received the proper name Mazalaai while its planet HAT-P-21b received the name Bambaruush at an international NameExoWorlds contest.[6] These names refer to the Mongolian name for the endangered Gobi bear subspecies, and the Mongolian term for 'bear cub', respectively.

Planetary system

In 2010 a transiting hot super-Jovian planet on moderately eccentric orbit was detected.[7] Its equilibrium temperature is 1283±50 K. The transit-timing variation survey in 2011 have failed to rule out or confirm the existence of additional planets in the system, until the orbital parameters of HAT-P-21b are known with better precision.[4]

The planetary orbit is likely aligned with the equatorial plane of the star, misalignment equal to 25±16 degrees.[8]
