Kepler-17 is a main-sequence yellow dwarf star that is much more active than the Sun with starspots covering roughly 6% of its surface.[7] Starspots are long-lived, with at least one persisting for 1400 days.[8]
Planetary system
[edit | edit source]The Kepler-17 is known to host one superjovian exoplanet, Kepler-17b, in orbit around it. It was discovered by the transit method in 2011.[9]
