This system was first noticed in 1918 when a previously unknown in Aquila star went nova, increasing to magnitude -0.5, brighter than all stars but Sirius and Canopus. It took twelve days to fade three magnitudes.

The cause of the nova was not understood at the time but later scientists determined this was caused by a white dwarf closely orbited by a companion star. Material from the companion star is pulled off by the white dwarf and accumulates until run-away hydrogen fusion causes most of the material to be ejected.

A survey in 3303 revealed that the main star is actually a neutron star, and multiple companion stars orbit it, including two class-M, a class-T, a class-L, and smaller bodies.
