Kepler-45, formerly known as KOI-254, is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It is located at the celestial coordinates: right ascension 19h 31m 29.495s, declination +41° 03′ 51.37″.[6] With an apparent visual magnitude of 16.88,[4] this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
The star is exhibiting strong starspot activity, with 4.1±2.5% of its surface covered by starspots.[7]

The "Hot Jupiter" class planet Kepler-45b,[9] discovered in February 2011,[10] is unusually massive for the M-class parent star.[11] Its orbit is aligned within 11 degrees of rotational axis of the star.[12]
The planet is strongly suspected to have optically thick rings, because its planetary shadow appears to be elongated.[13]
