OVERVIEW

] EXOPLANET

HAT-P-13 c is a in the constellation Ursa Major, 805.0 from Earth. It orbits HAT-P-13 at a mean distance of 1.258 . It has a mass of 14.28 and a radius of 1.10 · 78 451 . It was discovered in 2009.

THE MODEL

] CATALOGUED RADIUS
OUTSIDE THE SURVEYED VOLUME · DRAG TO ORBIT

CALCULATED · NOT AN OBSERVATION · CATALOGUED RADIUS · EQUILIBRIUM TEMPERATURE 340 K · RADIUS 1.1 JUPITER RADII · HOST STAR 5650 K

Drawn from the catalogued radius and from the same properties the picture at the top of this page uses, at the distance a flight to it would stop. Drag it, or use the arrow keys, to look from another direction. The stars behind are the 498,631 this catalogue holds real distances for, drawn from where the camera actually is — but every one of them is within 170 parsecs of the Sun and this object is much further out, so what is in the frame is that whole neighbourhood seen from outside it, piled into a knot around the Sun. The rest of the sky from here is not something this catalogue knows.

OBSERVING

] FROM WHERE YOU ARE

What it takes to see HAT-P-13 c for yourself. Everything in this part of the page is worked out for a real horizon, a real night and the equipment you say you have.

Say where you are, and this line says when HAT-P-13 c is worth going out for.

APPARENT PLACE

] EQUINOX J2026.7

Where a telescope has to be pointed today, which is not quite where the catalogue records the object: the coordinate grid itself has turned since the year 2000 the catalogue is referred to.

RIGHT ASCENSION
DECLINATION
GRID TURNED SINCE
19.9
PROPER MOTION SINCE
none published

Computed for 2026-08-27 00:00 UT. No proper motion is published for HAT-P-13 c, so nothing here moves the object; what separates this from the catalogued position above is the coordinate grid turning under it — about fifty arcseconds a year of precession since 2000, and the small nodding of the Earth’s axis on top of that. Aberration and refraction are not included, and neither is parallax; each is under an arcminute, which is also about as well as the catalogued position is known. The same figure for any date.

The raw catalogue values, as the source published them, with the error bars where one was published — sorted by what each set of figures is about rather than by the order they happened to be stored in.

HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

Each link carries the identifier printed beside it. Nothing on this page is a measurement of our own, so a number that disagrees with one of these is worth reporting — and a service that has never catalogued this object under this name will say so plainly.
