Elias 2-27 (2MASS J16264502-2423077)[3] is a YSO star[3] with a protoplanetary disk around it, located in the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud (ρ Oph Cld, 5 Oph Cld, Ophiuchus Dark Cloud), a star-forming region in the Ophiuchus constellation, some 360 light-years (110 parsecs) away. This star system became the first ever observed with density waves in the disk, giving it a spiral structure. Elias 2-27 is located near the double star Rho Ophiuchi (5 Ophiuchi).[5][6]
