For technical data, see No-twos subgroup temperaments #Aldebaran. Aldebaran is the rank-2 regular temperament on the 3.5.13 subgroup that tempers out 3159/3125. It has a generator of 5/3 (similar to Arcturus) and equates 5 of them with 13/9. It possesses non-trivial MOS of the families 2L 5s<3/1>, 2L 7s<3/1>, 2L 9s<3/1>, 2L 11s<3/1>, 13L 2s<3/1>, and 15L 13s<3/1>. Aldebaran temperament can accurately approximate the chord 9:13:15, which could be viewed as the "fundamental" chord of the 3.5.13 subgroup (similar to 4:5:6 for the 5-limit or 3:5:7 for the no-twos 7-limit) due to being tritave-equivalent to 3:5:13. 15edt's major sixth is near the optimal tuning for Aldebaran.
