Kepler-296 is a binary star system[4] in the constellation Draco. The primary star appears to be a late K-type main-sequence star, while the secondary is a red dwarf.[3]
Planetary system

Five exoplanets have been detected around the system; all are believed to be orbiting the primary star rather than its dimmer companion.[4] Two planets in particular, Kepler-296e and Kepler-296f, are likely located in the habitable zone.[4] For the planetary system to remain stable, no additional giant planets can be located up to orbital radius 10.1 AU.[7]
