V Sagittae or V Sge is a cataclysmic variable in the constellation Sagitta. The system is composed of a main sequence star of about 3.3 solar masses and a white dwarf of about 0.9 solar masses; the fact that the white dwarf is less massive than its companion is highly unusual for a cataclysmic variable, and V Sge is the only super soft X-ray source nonmagnetic cataclysmic variable found so far.
Material from the larger star is accreting onto the white dwarf at an exponentially increasing rate, generating a huge stellar wind. The doubling time for the accretion rate, and hence for the system luminosity, is about years.[1] It is predicted that the system will erupt as a nova some time between 2067 and 2099, at which point it will become one of the brightest stars in the sky.[2] [3]
