13 Sagittae is a single[10] star in the northern constellation of Sagitta. The designation comes from the star catalogue of John Flamsteed, first published in 1712. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.33.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.20 mas as seen from Earth's orbit, it is located at a distance of around 310 parsecs (1,000 ly). It is moving closer to the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of −17.56 km/s.[5]

This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of M4 III[1] – a star that has used up its core hydrogen and has expanded – and is currently on the asymptotic giant branch.[7] Classified as a semiregular variable and given the variable star designation VZ Sagittae, it varies between apparent magnitudes 5.27 and 5.57.[4] Il has expanded to around 186 times the Sun's radius.[6]
There is a magnitude 9.96 companion located at an angular separation of 112.6 arcseconds along a position angle of 297°, as of 2013.[11] Designated HD 351107, this is a class F0 star.[12]
