ROXs 12 is a binary system of pre-main-sequence stars. It belongs to the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.[4] The surface temperature of the primary star is 3900±100 K.[3] ROXs 12 is much younger than the Sun with an age of 7.6+4.1
−2.5
million years.[4]

A multiplicity survey detected a stellar companion to ROXs 12 in 2017, named 2MASS J16262774–2527247,[5] at a projected separation of 5100 AU.[6]

Planetary system[]

In 2005, one planet was discovered on a wide orbit by direct imaging,[7] was confirmed in 2013 and named ROXs 12 b.[4] The planet's measured temperature is 3100+400
−500
K.[6]

The primary star is surrounded by a protoplanetary disk, although it is not very massive, being less than 4 MJ.[4] The secondary star also has a protoplanetary disk, and it is much more massive, equal to 10-1.07+0.49
−0.87
M. The disk is inclined to the equatorial plane of the star.[5]
