HAT-P-19 is a K-type main-sequence star about 658 light-years away. The star is old yet metal-enriched, having amount of heavy elements 250% of solar abundance. A survey in 2012 failed to find any stellar companions to HAT-P-19.

Planetary system

In 2010 a transiting hot Saturn-sized planet was detected. Its equilibrium temperature is 984±10 K, and it is grey in color.

The transit-timing variation measurements in 2015 and 2018 did not detect additional planets in the system.
