HAT-P-20 is a K-type main-sequence star about 233 light-years away. The star has a strong starspot activity,[3] and its equatorial plane is misaligned by 36+10
−12° with the planetary orbit.[4] Although star with a giant planet on close orbit is expected to be spun-up by tidal forces, only weak indications of tidal spin-up were detected.[5]
