In 1855, Capt. W. S. Jacob of the Madras Observatory of the East India Company claimed that the orbit of the binary showed an anomaly, and it was "highly probable" that there was a "planetary body in connection with this system".
This variable was discovered by C. Ragoonatha Chary at the Madras Observatory in India.
