Kepler-43 has a very strong starspot activity.^[6]

Planetary system

The Kepler spacecraft detected a transiting planet candidate around this star that was confirmed by radial velocity measurements taken by the SOPHIE spectrograph mounted on the 1.93 m telescope at the Haute-Provence Observatory.^[4]

The planet nightside temperature was measured to be 2,043+79
−352 K.^[6]
