Notes
Selected as a candidate for the accreting-only symbiotic star from the GALAH high-resolution spectroscopic survey by Munari et al. (2021). Beck et al. (2023) identified a relatively short period of 10.51 days using Gaia spectroscopic data, that is rather short for an orbital period in the symbiotic star.
