Kepler-296 is a binary star system[3] in the constellation Draco. The primary star appears to be a late K-type main-sequence star, while the secondary is a red dwarf.[2]
Five exoplanets have been detected around the system; all are believed to be orbiting the primary star rather than its dimmer companion.[3] Two planets in particular, Kepler-296e and Kepler-296f, are likely located in the habitable zone.[3] For the planetary system to remain stable, no additional giant planets can be located up to orbital radius 10.1 AU.[6]
