Kepler-17 is a main-sequence yellow dwarf star that is much more active than the Sun with starspots covering roughly 6% of its surface. Starspots are long-lived, with at least one persisting for 1400 days.{{citation|arxiv=1904.04489|title=Stellar activity and rotation of the planet host Kepler-17 from long-term space-borne photometry|year=2019|doi=10.1051/0004-6361/201833894|last1=Lanza|first1=A.

Planetary system

The Kepler-17 is known to host one superjovian exoplanet, Kepler-17b, in orbit around it. It was discovered by the transit method in 2011.
