Notes

Classified as a new symbiotic star by Jia et al. (2023). However, the object appears to be a young stellar object in the Taurus-Auriga region (e.g., Kraus et al., 2012; Harris et al., 2012; Park et al., 2021; Marton et al., 2023). The distance of 139.23 pc is reported by Testi et al. (2022).
