Notes
The star changed its spectral appearance from a low excitation emission line object into that of a symbiotic star, probably due to optical thinning of the nebula (Remillard et al., 1992). Iłkiewicz et al. (2019) analyzed archival observations and classified the object as a symbiotic recurrent nova.
