WASP-58 is a
binary star system comprising a
G-type main-sequence star and a red dwarf about 955 light-years away. WASP-58 is slightly depleted in heavy elements, having 80% of the solar abundance of iron.
[5] WASP-58 is much older than the Sun at 12.80+0.20
−2.10 billion years.

Lithium was detected in the stellar spectrum of WASP-58A, making the star anomalous for its advanced age. [2]
A multiplicity survey in 2015 did detect a red dwarf stellar companion [8] at a projected separation of 1.281±0.002″ to WASP-58A, and it was confirmed to be gravitationally bound in 2016. [3]
In 2012 a transiting hot Jupiter planet b was detected on a tight, circular orbit around the primary star WASP-58A. [2]
Planetary equilibrium temperature is 1270±80 K. [2]
