Notes

Included in the list of symbiotic candidates by Vaidis (1988), possibly because a link with the symbiotic nova AG Peg was discussed by Richter (1960). However, the symbiotic nature was not confirmed. Over time, the object underwent changes in its spectroscopic appearance, transitioning from a hot central star of a PN to an F-type supergiant and later a carbon star, as documented in Iijima & Strafella (1993), Gehrz et al. (2005), and Jeffery & Schönberner (2006). Since 1992, it has exhibited R CrB-type variability (Jurcsik, 1993; Arkhipova et al., 1999; Rosenbush & Efimov, 2015).
