K2-28

K2-28 is a metal rich M4-type main sequence star. One confirmed transiting exoplanet is known to orbit this star. There is another star 5.2 arcseconds to the north–east of K2-28 however this star has a different proper motion and is therefore physically unrelated and probably a background star.
