V1094 Scorpii is a young stellar object in the constellation of Scorpius, located in the young Lupus Star Forming Region.[1]
A planetary system?
Periodic radial velocity variations in the young star V1094 Scorpii had at first been explained by the presence of a substellar object in tight orbit.[3] Currently the presence of a substellar object has been retracted, invoking starspots as the actual cause for observed radial velocity variations.[2]
