Description:
The star system, 13 Ceti, consists of a short-period visual binary whose primary is itself a single-line spectroscopic binary. Currently existing data regarding the considered stellar system are examined, taking into account certain discrepancies. It is pointed out that the spectral type of the combined light of the system complicates any attempt to explain the observed overluminosity in terms of stellar evolution. Additional studies are recommended to clarify remaining questions concerning the characteristics of the stellar system.
