These coordinates were identified as an X-ray source using the Uhuru satellite in 1978, then associated with the star V420 Aurigae by V. F. Polcaro and associates in 1984.[9] The spectrum of the star shows rapid variation in the lines of singly-ionized iron and Balmer line emission, with these varying on a time scale of less than 300 seconds. This lends support to the presence of a compact companion.[10] The system displays an infrared excess, suggesting it has an orbiting circumstellar envelope of gas and possibly dust.[11] The system appears to be positioned at the center of an irregular, wispy nebula that was detected in the infrared band. One of the two filaments in this nebula appears to be connected with the system.[9]
