AU Microscopii
(AU Mic)
(nearby star with disk and planets)
AU Microscopii (AU Mic)
is a nearby young variable M-type star
with a debris disk, thought to be
roughly 22 million years old.
It has two extra-solar planets that are confirmed by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS),
as well as two suspected planets,
after suspicions based on variability that suggests disk
asymmetries which plausibly could result from a planet.
