Kepler-277

Kepler-277 is a large yellow star in the constellation of Lyra. It is 1.69 R☉ and 1.12 M☉, with a temperature of 5946 K, a metallicity of -0.315 [Fe/H], and an unknown age.[1] For comparison, the Sun has a temperature of 5778 K, a metallicity of 0.00 [Fe/H], and an age of about 4.5 billion years. The large radius in comparison to its mass and temperature suggest that Kepler-277 could be a subgiant star.
