WASP-60, also named Morava, is a F-type main-sequence star about 1,400 light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. The star's age is much younger than the Sun's at 1.7±0.5 billion years. WASP-60 is enriched in heavy elements, having 180% of the solar abundance of iron. The star does not have noticeable starspot activity, an unexpected observation for a relatively young star. The age of WASP-60 determined by different methods is highly discrepant though, and it may actually be an old star which experienced an episode of spin-up in the past.
A multiplicity survey in 2015 did not detect any stellar companions to WASP-60.
