Primary star
The primary star's surface temperature is 4,773 K. Kepler-411A is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.11±0.1,[7] but is much younger at an age of 212±31 million years.[9]
Kepler-411A exhibits significant starspot activity, with starspots covering 1.7+0.3
−0.2% of the stellar surface.[12] Darker starspots are concentrated around the equator of the star. Kepler-411A exhibits differential rotation, but with smaller amount of differential shear compared to the Sun.[8]
The companion Kepler-411B is 533 au away from Kepler-411A.[10] It is a red dwarf and a flare star.[13]
Planetary system
In 2013, one planet, named Kepler-411b, was discovered,[14] followed by planet Kepler-411c in 2016. Third planet in system detected by transit method, d, along with e detected by radial velocity method, were discovered in 2019.[15][9]
