Notes
Identified as one of the most luminous X-ray sources in M31, Chiosi et al. (2014) suspected its symbiotic nature but failed to identify an optical counterpart consistent with such classification. On the other hand, it could be a short-period binary or an AM CVn-type object. Of particular interest is the detection of the 217.7-second period reported in X-ray data with no definite explanation, as mentioned in Trudolyubov & Priedhorsky (2008) and further discussed in Chiosi et al. (2014).
