WR 138a was first identified as a star with H-Alpha emission in 1997. Its Wolf-Rayet nature was discovered in 2009, [3] along with its physical parameters. Although WR 138a is located in the Cygnus X complex from our viewpoint, in actually it is further away (4,200 pc compared to ~1,800 pc) and unrelated to the complex.
