HAT-P-29, also known as Muspelheim since 2019 (as part of the IAU's NameExoWorlds project), is a star about 1,040 light-years (320 parsecs) away. It is a G-type main-sequence star. The star's age of 2.2±1.0 billion years is less than half that of the Sun. HAT-P-29 is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 35% more iron than the Sun.

A very faint 19th-magnitude stellar companion was detected in 2016 at a projected separation of 3.290±0.002″, but Gaia DR2 astrometry suggests that this is an unrelated background object.
