'''HD 176693''', also known as '''Kepler-408''', is a [[star]] with a close orbiting [[exoplanet]] in the northern [[constellation]] of [[Draco (constellation)|Draco]]. It is located at a distance of 291&nbsp;[[light year]]s from the Sun based on [[stellar parallax|parallax]] measurements, but it is drifting closer with a [[radial velocity]] of −55&nbsp;km/s.<ref name=Gaia_2022/> The star is predicted to come as close as {{convert|7.0957|pc|ly|1|disp=out|abbr=off}} in 1.6&nbsp;million years.<ref name=Bailer-Jones_et_al_2018/> It has an [[apparent visual magnitude]] of 8.83,<ref name=Høg_et_al_2000/> which is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye.

The [[stellar spectrum|spectrum]] of HD 176693 matches an [[F-type main-sequence star]] with a [[stellar classification]] of F8V.<ref name=Molenda-Żakowicz_et_al_2013/> The star is older than the Sun, at {{val|7.15|u=billion years}}. It is slightly and uniformly<ref name=Ramírez_et_al_2020/> depleted in heavy elements compared to the Sun, having about 75% of the solar abundance of iron and other heavy elements.<ref name=Kamiaka2019/> HD 176693 is a [[chromosphere|chromospherically]] [[magnetic activity|inactive]] star,<ref name=Booth2019/> although there is weak evidence for [[Tidal acceleration|tidal spin-up]] due to star-planet interaction.<ref name=Metcalfe_Egeland_2019/>

HD 176693 is 5% more massive than the Sun and has a 25% larger radius.<ref name=Kamiaka2019/> It is radiating 1.9<ref name=Brito_Lopes_2019/> times the luminosity of the Sun from its [[photosphere]] at an [[effective temperature]] of 6,080&nbsp;K. The star is spinning with a [[rotation period]] of 12.89&nbsp;days.<ref name=Kamiaka2019/> As of 2016, multiplicity surveys have not detect any stellar companions to HD 176693.<ref name=Kraus_et_al_2016/>

==Planetary system== In 2014, a [[Transit (astronomy)|transiting]] [[Sub-Earth]] planet [[Kepler-408b|b]] was detected on a tight 2.5 day orbit. Initially reported with a relatively low confidence of 97.9%,<ref name=Marcy_et_al_2014/> it was confirmed in 2016.<ref name=Campante_et_al_2016/>

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.<ref name=Kamiaka2019/> The planet may also be a captured body originating from elsewhere.<ref name=Petrovich_et_al_2020/>
