This is the TYC 8998-760-1 or YSES 1 star system. The star is a pre-main-sequence K-class star the same mass and radius as the Sun.

The brighter of the two exoplanets is YC 8998-760-1b. Between 14 and 21 times the mass of Jupiter, it orbits at 146 AU, around five times farther than Neptune.

The dimmer of the two exogiants, TYC 8998-760-1c, is about seven times the mass of Jupiter and is a staggering 320 AU from its star—11 times Neptune's distance from the Sun, or almost 50 billion km.

JWST observations suggest that there may be a circumplanetary disk around the larger of these exogiants, indicated in part by the presence of the mineral olivine (a standard rock-forming mineral), which could mean there's a system of satellites and rings forming there.

320 AU is a boggling distance from a sun sized star. I'm surprised there's enough gravitational pull to keep it there
