Notes

This long-known X-ray source was identified as a symbiotic X-ray binary by Kaplan et al. (2007), who detected the optical/IR counterpart, suggesting it possibly is a late-type supergiant. The system is highly reddened. De et al. (2022) claimed that the cool component is a Mira variable, making the system the first of such a type.
