TYC 8998-760-1 is a young star, about 17 Ma old, located 310 light years away in the constellation of Musca, with a mass 1.00±0.02 times the Sun.

Planetary system[]

There are two giant exoplanets orbiting the star. The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope photographed the two planets using its SPHERE instrument, producing the first direct image of multiple planets orbiting a Sun-like star.[1][6]

TYC 8998-760-1 b is a gas giant exoplanet which has a mass 14 times that of Jupiter, and a radius of 3 RJ. It orbits at a distance of 162 AU (2.42×1010 km; 1.51×1010 mi), or slightly more than 5 times the Neptune-Sun distance.[5][7] In July 2021, astronomers reported the detection, for the first time, of an isotope in the atmosphere of an exoplanet; more specifically, the isotope Carbon-13 (C13) was found in the atmosphere.[8][9]

TYC 8998-760-1 c is a gas giant exoplanet which has a mass of 6 MJ, and orbits at 320 AU (4.8×1010 km; 3.0×1010 mi), or slightly more than 11 times the Neptune-Sun distance.[5]
