V605 Aquilae: an Extragalactic Supernova?
Abstract
It is suggested that the enigmatic variable V6OS Aquilae, bright in 1919, was a supernova. Its position agrees well with that of AqI XR-t and also with that of the eztended radio source DA 476. If it was in- deed a supernova, then it seems clear that the object was eztragalactic; but aside from the radio source there is little or no evidence of the parent galazy.
