HD 176693
HD 176693, also known as Kepler-408, is a F-type main-sequence star about 290 light-years away. The star is older than the Sun, at 7.15 billion years. It is slightly and uniformly[6] depleted in heavy elements compared to the Sun, having about 75% of the solar abundance of iron and other heavy elements.[4]

HD 176693 is a chromospherically inactive star,[2] although there is weak evidence for tidal spin-up due to star-planet interaction.[7]
Multiplicity surveys did not detect any stellar companions to HD 176693 by 2016.[8]
Planetary system
In 2014, a transiting Sub-Earth planet b was detected on a tight 2.5 day orbit. Initially reported with a relatively low confidence of 97.9%,[9] it was confirmed in 2016.[10]
The planetary orbit is inclined to the equatorial plane of the star by 41.7+5.1
−3.5°. Such strong spin-orbit misalignment is unique for a sub-Earth transiting planet, and needs either additional giant planets in the system or a history of close stellar encounters to explain it.[4] The planet may also be a captured body originating from elsewhere.[11]
