COMMENTS
The denominators are given in A295332.
The continued fraction expansion of sqrt(13)/2 is [1, repeat(1, 4, 14, 4, 1, 2)] = [b(0), repeat(b(1), b(2), b(3), b(4), b(5), b(6))].

FORMULA
G.f.: (1 + 2*x + 9*x^2 + 128*x^3 + 521*x^4 + 649*x^5 + 521*x^6 - 128*x^7 + 9*x^8 + 2*x^9 + x^10 - x^11) / ((1 - 3*x - x^2)*(1 + 3*x - x^2)*(1 + 3*x + 10*x^2 - 3*x^3 + x^4)*(1 - 3*x + 10*x^2 + 3*x^3 + x^4)). For the derivation see the period 4 example for the denominators of the convergents of sqrt(7)/2 given in A294972. Here the period is 6 and the input for the recurrence a(n) = b(n)*a(n-1) + a(n-2) is a(-1) = 1 = a(0) (a(-2) = 1 - b(0) = 0) with the b(n) modulo 6 given above. Note that a(6*k) = 2*a(6*k-1) + a(6*k-2) is valid only for k >= 1 because a(0) = 1 is not equal to 2*a(-1) + a(-2) = 2. The denominator in the unfactorized form is 1 - 1298*x^6 + x^12.
a(n) = 1298*a(n-6) - a(n-12), n >= 12, with inputs a(0)..a(11).
