Notes

The nature of this object has been a topic of discussion in the literature, with debates on whether it is a planetary nebula or a symbiotic star, see, e.g., Feibelman (1988) and Schwarz (1991). Early observations, such as those of Sanduleak & Stephenson (1972), noted the presence of strong [Ne III] lines. Gutiérrez-Moreno et al. (1995) argued for its classification as a symbiotic system. This symbiotic nature was further supported by spectral analyses (Gutiérrez-Moreno & Moreno, 1996).
