Notes

Initially considered a candidate for an R CrB (Swope & Shapley, 1940), later observations by Kilkenny (1989) suggested a symbiotic nature based on the presence of hydrogen Balmer lines in emission. However, the absence of lines with higher ionization potential was reported. The symbiotic classification was confirmed by Merc et al. (2023), who detected a symbiotic nova outburst and also observed eclipses in the binary system.
