The host star of is estimated to have 1.47 ± 0.12 times the mass, 1.500 ± 0.050 times the radius and 6.4 ± 1.1 times the luminosity of the Sun. With an equatorial rotation velocity of at least 102 km/s, the host star of HAT-P-57b has the highest rotation velocity of any star currently known to host a transiting planet. The next most rapidly rotating stars to host transiting planets are KOI-89 with a rotation velocity of at least 90 km/s and WASP-33 with a rotation velocity of at least 86 km/s. Finally, the mass of HAT-P-57b is estimated to be no more than 1.85 times the mass of Jupiter.
