'''Aql X-1''' is a Low-Mass X-Ray Binary and the most luminous X-Ray source in the [[Aquila]] constellation. It was first observed by the satellite [[Vela 5B]] which detected several outbursts from this source between 1969 and 1976. Its optical counterpart is variable, so it was named '''V1333 Aql''' according to the [[IAU]] standards. The system hosts a [[neutron star]] that accretes matter from a main sequence star.

Aql X-1 is a Low-Mass X-Ray Binary and the most luminous X-Ray source in the Aquila constellation. It was first observed by the satellite Vela 5B which detected several outbursts from this source between 1969 and 1976. Its optical counterpart is variable, so it was named V1333 Aql according to the IAU standards. The system hosts a neutron star that accretes matter from a main sequence star.
