13 Mon lies within the Monoceros OB1 stellar association,[6] halfway between the Rosette Nebula and NGC 2264, at a distance of about 780 parsecs.[5] It is surrounded by a small reflection nebula listed as Van den Bergh 81 (VdB 81).[9]
13 Monocerotis has been used as a standard star for the A0 Ib spectral class.[10]
Extended photometry of 13 Monocerotis from 1997 to 2000 shows irregular variation of up to 0.04 magnitudes and also a slight trend to become fainter over the period.[11] All the bright A0 - A5 supergiants analysed using Hipparcos satellite data were found to be variable, but 13 Mon was the least variable.[12]
