YSES 2 is a is a young, Sun-like star in the constellation of Musca. [6] It is approximately 360 ly from Earth in Scorpius-Centaurus Association. Its age is 14 million years. [7]

The star was believed to be orbited by the exoplanet YSES 2 b, a 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] [5] It was discovered through direct imaging by Bohn et al. in 2021, [6] but in 2025 was determined to be a background star, and not a planet. [9]
