KELT - 3b is the third transiting exoplanet discovered by the KELT survey, and is orbiting one of the 20 brightest known transiting planet host stars, making it a promising candidate for detailed characterization studies.

This is the third brightest confirmed planet host star in the Kepler field and one of the brightest hosts of all currently known transiting exoplanets.

Kepler - 410 consists of a blend between the fast rotating planet host star (Kepler - 410A) and a fainter star (Kepler - 410B), which has complicated the confirmation of the planetary candidate.

Most importantly, the bolometric fluxes and angular radii reported here for a total of 498 planet host stars - with median accuracies of 1.7 % and 1.8 %, respectively - serve as a fundamental dataset to permit the re-determination of transiting planet radii and masses with the Gaia second data release to ~ 3 % and ~ 5 % accuracy, better than currently published precisions, and determined in an entirely empirical fashion.

Many of the planet host stars included in this study have large uncertainties on their metallicities which might swing them into either the metal - rich or metal - poor category.
