Notes

Initially suspected to be a symbiotic star by Shchelkanova (1987). They detected Hα in emission along with He I, [N II], and [S II], while Hβ or [O III] lines were not detected. It was subsequently included in the catalog of symbiotic stars by Vaidis (1991). However, it was later reclassified as an HII region ionized by an early-B type star (Garnett & Dinerstein, 1988).
