13 Delphini

Double star in the constellation Delphinus

13 Delphini is a binary star[2] in the equatorial constellation Delphinus, with a combined apparent magnitude of 5.64.[12] The system is located at a distance of 471 light years but is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −7 km/s.[6]

Quick Facts Apparent magnitude (V), Characteristics ...

13 Delphini A has an apparent magnitude of 5.66, while its companion has an apparent magnitude of 8.51.[2] As of 2016, the pair have a separation of 1.5″ located at a position angle of 200°.[13]

13 Delphini has a blended stellar classification of A0 V,[4] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. However, when the components are analysed individually, the primary star is given a class of B9V.[14] It has 2.51 times the mass of the Sun[9] and has an effective temperature of 9,840 K.[3] However, the star is large for its class, having a radius almost 4 times that of the Sun[9] and a luminosity 119 times greater.[3] This is due to 13 Delphini having completed 86.1% of its main sequence lifetime[3] and has led one source to classify it as a subgiant instead.[15] It spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 170 km/s[11] and has an age of 307 million years.[10]
