S/2019 S 13 is a natural satellite of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Edward Ashton, Brett J. Gladman, Jean-Marc Petit and Mike Alexandersen on May 9, 2023 from observations taken between July 3, 2019 and July 8, 2021. [2]
S/2019 S 13 is about 3 kilometers in diameter, and orbits Saturn at a distance of 20.960 Gm in 1,132.90 days, at an inclination of 178.6, orbits in retrograde direction and eccentricity of 0.377. [2] S/2019 S 13 belongs to the Norse group and it has an inclination supplemental angle of 1.4°, meaning it is currently the least titled moon of Saturn against the ecliptic plane. [3]
