YSES 2 is a young, Sun-like (K-type) star in the constellation of Musca.[6] It is approximately 360 ly from Earth in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association. Its age is 14 million years.[7]
The star was believed to be orbited by the exoplanet YSES 2b, a supposed super-jovian gas giant with 6.3+1.6
−0.9 times the mass of Jupiter that had an estimated separation of 114 AU.[8][4] It was discovered through direct imaging by Bohn et al. in 2021,[6] but in 2025 was determined to be a background red dwarf star and not a planet.[9]
