HD 135344 is a young binary star system about 440 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Lupus. The primary star hosts a directly imaged gas giant planet, while the secondary star, also known as SAO 206462, is surrounded by a circumstellar disk of gas with clearly defined spiral arms and has three planet candidates.
