This star was added to the list of possible symbiotic stars in Akras et al. (2019), likely based on the findings of Feibelman (2001). The latter study detected stellar O V, O VI, O VII, and O VIII lines in the IUE spectra of NGC 6302. However, the identification of the central star of this planetary nebula by Szyszka et al. (2009) appears to contradict its symbiotic nature. Some structures within the nebula might have originated from an eruptive event approximately 1900 years ago, as indicated by Meaburn et al. (2005). The object previously recognized as NGC6032's central star was contested to be a foreground field star in Kastner et al. (2022).
