'''HD 97048''' or '''CU Chamaeleontis''' is a Herbig Ae/Be star {{val|603|ul=ly}} away in the constellation Chamaeleon. It is a variable star embedded in a dust cloud containing a stellar nursery, and is itself surrounded by a dust disk.

HD 97048 is a young star still contracting towards the main sequence. Its brightness varies between magnitudes 8.38 and 8.48 and it is classified as an Orion variable.<ref name=gcvs/> It was given the variable star designation CU Chamaeleontis in 1981.<ref name=ibvs/> Its spectrum is also variable. The spectral class is usually given as A0 or B9, sometimes with a giant luminosity class, sometimes main sequence. The spectrum shows strong variable emission lines indicative of a shell surrounding the star.<ref name=mk/>

HD 97048 is a member of the Chamaeleon T1 stellar association and is still embedded within the dark molecular cloud that it is forming from. It illuminates a small reflection nebula against the dark cloud.<ref name=rydgren/>

==Planetary system== This star has a substantial dust disk having a central cavity with a 40−46&nbsp;AU radius<ref name=vanDerPlas2017/> The disk has a carbon monoxide gas velocity kink and intensity gap at 130 AUs, which is suspected to be caused by a superjovian planet.<ref name=Pinte2019/> In 2019, HCO<sup>+</sup> ion and Hydrogen cyanide emission was detected from the disk, suggesting a large amount of gas is orbiting beyond 200 AU radius.<ref name="?"/> left|thumb|Velocity kink for the CO gas and gap in the disk, showing the presence of a protoplanet In the system a kink in the velocity of carbon monoxide gas (CO 3–2) as well as a gap in the dust emission of the disk are seen as evidence for a jovian protoplanet. The protoplanet is located at 130 au from the star and has a mass of about 2.5 Jupiter masses. It is one of the lowest mass protoplanets discovered as of 2023.<ref name=Pinte2019/>
