Scientific paper

The event of 1437, as recorded in the Korean journal the Sejong Sillok, is the oldest known historical nova with an accurate position (± 0.2°). If found, it would be the oldest recovered nova by ˜350 years, and would provide valuable insight into the long-term quiescent behaviour of novae and due to the young age of the progenitor system, a constraint on binary evolution. This is the second search for the nova remnant, with the original attempt by Shara et al. (1990) unable to locate a unique candidate. Using the refined position from our recent collaboration, we present a progress report on the recovery of the nova.
