V1017 Sagittarii is a cataclysmic variable star system in the constellation Sagittarius. Ida E. Woods discovered the star on Harvard College Observatory photographic plates, in 1919.[5] During that eruption, the star reached magnitude 7. Its other eruptions in 1901, 1973 and 1991 only reached magnitude 10, leading it to be reclassified from a recurrent nova to a dwarf nova.[6]

After the eruption of 1919, the orbital period of the binary system has decreased by 0.0273±0.0061%, to the 5.786290±0.000032 days.[1] Physical models cannot explain the orbital change of such sign and magnitude as in 2019.[7]
