Seemed like this star deserves an article. It is notable because it is nearly identical in Solar mass, is so close, and has two planets which have been directly photographed. I am far from an expert in astronomy, nor am I experienced in creating articles about start. I hope those editors who are will jump in and edit this article.

It states "and also the nearest Sun-analog example to the Solar System". It's uncited, so I have no idea what they mean, but at its distance its hard to believe it's the nearest anything (beyond having its planets imaged). Anyone know what they are trying to say? Tarl N.

@Nwbeeson: Can you explain your source for the second sentence? Estimated to be around 17 million years old, it is at the lower age limit of the G2V spectral type stars, and also the nearest Sun-analog example to the Solar System.. The age estimate is well documented, the rest I can't find. I don't see where G2V came in, Sun-analog, or nearest. As best I can tell, the star is classified as a K3IV, not G2V. The only match for the Sun is the mass, which doesn't directly map to spectral class. Tarl N. (discuss) 12:01, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the sentence entirely. The age estimate was already in the first sentence, didn't need to be repeated. Tarl N. (discuss) 03:48, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TYC 8998-760-1 → YSES 1 – Far simpler designation and there doesn't seem to be a common name. 21 Andromedae (talk) 12:46, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose: YSES (Young Suns Exoplanet Survey) is the project it was found in. True, there is a YSES 2 b. But the planets here were named TYC 8998-760-1 b/c in the discovery paper, the original press release, exoplanet.eu, NASA Exoplanet Archive, ... moving it to YSES 1 does not make the object unrecognizable, but seems against the Recognizability criterion within the article title policy.

I would lean towards a weak support on this one; while the exoplanet discovery papers used the TYC designation, the paper assigning the YSES 1 designation suggests that should be considered the primary name, and recent literature seems to have shifted toward using it (2023AJ....165...85W, 2024AJ....168..246Z).

pretty convincing. Stevinger (talk) 19:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
