V1298 Tauri is a young (23±4 Myr) weakly-lined T Tauri star[5] that is part of the Taurus-Auriga association in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. Alternatively it is part of a proposed moving group, called Group 29 (or 93 Tau group) that is slightly older.[6][7][3][8] The system has four transiting exoplanets, discovered with the Kepler space telescope in the K2 mission.[5] One of the planets was discovered in August 2019[3] and the other three were discovered in November 2019 by the same team.[5]
