13 Peg is an uncommon variable star. It lies about 109 light-years from Earth, sits in the constellation Peg, shines at apparent magnitude 5.34 and has spectral type F2III-IV.
Its spectrum reads F2III-IV — an F-type star — a little hotter, whiter and shorter-lived than the Sun.
Look for 13 Peg in the constellation Peg. At apparent magnitude 5.34, it can be glimpsed with the unaided eye under dark skies.
Like any astronomical target, 13 Peg is best seen from a dark site away from city lights, and when it is above the horizon depends on your latitude and the time of year. The visibility panel above works out tonight's viewing window for your saved location.
13 Peg scores 27 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the uncommon tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 6 science badges — Variable star, Naked-eye visible, Yellow-white F-type star, Giant star, Barely variable (under 0.05 mag) and A named variable star — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
