TYC 9486-927-1 (also known as 2MASS J21252752-8138278) is a star located at a distance of 26.7 (+5.7, -4.7) parsecs from Earth in the southern direction in the constellation of Octans. It is a dwarf (luminosity class V) red (spectral class M1) variable by rotation.
The star is the primary object of a planetary system having the secondary object 2MASS J21265040-8140293. This substellar object, being an exoplanet, is the most extensive planetary system known to date.[clarification needed]
TYC 9486-927-1 has rapid rotation and coronal and chromospheric activity suggestive of a young age. Observations and multi-epoch radial velocity data suggest that TYC 9486-927-1 is a single, rapidly rotating star rather than a spectroscopic or tight, visual binary. However, it is still possible that TYC 9486-927-1 is an equal mass binary with a face-on orbit and close separation.[2]
2MASS J21265040-8140293
2MASS J21265040-8140293 orbits it's host star TYC 9486-927-1 and the system was directly imaged in July 2020 by the SPHERE instrument on the VLT. [4]
With a mass from 11.6 to 15 Jupiter masses, it is considered to be either a brown dwarf or a giant planet.[5][6]
