The brightness of Kepler-429 changes unpredictably by up to 0.13 magnitudes.[3] It has been classified as a V361 Hydrae variable, but also as a V1093 Herculis variable, which typically has slower variations and a cooler temperature. Over 100 pulsation modes were identified with periods from 256 seconds to over three hours.[8]
Planetary system
Kepler-429 has been reported to have three possible exoplanets,[9] though their existence is questioned.[10] They were detected by orbital brightness modulation.[11]
