XO-2 is a binary star system about away in the constellation Lynx. It consists of two components, XO-2N and XO-2S, both of which host planetary systems.
==Star system== This system is unusual in that the stars are not typically referred to as components A & B, but are designated based on their positions in the sky: XO-2N is the northern star and XO-2S is the southern star.
