13 Trianguliis theFlamsteed designationfor astarin the northernconstellationofTriangulum.It has anapparent visual magnitudeof 5.89,[2]so according to theBortle scaleit is faintly visible from dark suburban skies. The star is located at a distance of 103light yearsfrom theSunbased onparallaxmeasurements,[1]and is drifting further away with aradial velocityof +41 km/s.[4]It made a close approach to the Sun some 665,000 years ago at an estimated separation of 34.3 light-years.[2]

Astellar classificationof G0 V[2]indicates this is amain sequence starthat is generating energy byfusinghydrogen into helium at its core. It has about 110% of theSun's mass,186% of theSun's radius,and shines with 3.72 times the luminosity of the Sun. Thestellar atmospherehas aneffective temperatureof 5,846 K,[5]giving it the yellow hue of aG-type star.[8]It appears to be older than the Sun, with an estimated age of 6.45 billion years.[5]

In 1994, anastrometric companionwas reported at anangular separationof 0.020″. However, follow-up observations reported in 2005 not only failed to recover this object but also returned a null result on a search for planetary companions.[9]The star has been examined for an infrared excess that could indicate the presence of an orbitingdebris disk,but no such excess was found.[6]
