DI Lacertae or Nova Lacertae 1910 was a nova in constellation Lacerta, announced by Thomas Henry Espinell Compton Espin on December 30, 1910.[1] It reached a brightness of 4.6 mag. Its brightness decreased in 37 days by 3 mag. Today its brightness is 14 mag.
Recent modeling analysis of ultraviolet spectra from the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and International Ultraviolet Explorer spacecraft, find the best fit for DI Lacertae to be an accretion disk with a mass accretion rate of 10−10 solar masses per year with a 30,000 Kelvin white dwarf.[2]
