Notes

This object, initially proposed as a representative of a new class of interacting binary stars consisting of a normal M giant and an AM Her or CV companion based on IUE observations (Reimers, 1985). The period of 3h58m detected by Reimers et al. (1988) was suggested to be the orbital period of the CV companion. Conversely, Eggleton et al. (1989) proposed a model wherein a WD with a rotational period of about 4 hours accretes directly from the giant's wind, leaning towards a more typical symbiotic binary scenario. The detection of X-ray emission by Wheatley et al. (2003) favored the presence of an accreting white dwarf, either single or in a CV, rather than a magnetic AM Her system. The 4h modulation was not evident in their data or in HST observations. The X-ray emission resembled that of CH Cyg. An analysis of FUSE data by Sion et al. (2017) suggested that the hot companion might indeed be a CV, with UV data resembling the dwarf nova RU Peg.
