PH2, also known as Kepler-86, or KIC 12735740 (2MASS J19190326+5157453), is an F-type main-sequence star 1,120 light-years (340 parsecs) distant within the constellation Cygnus. Roughly the size and temperature of the Sun, PH2 gained prominence when it was known to be the host of one of 42 planet candidates detected by the Planet Hunters citizen science project in its second data release.
