Notes

In Merrill & Burwell (1950), a combination spectrum of the star was reported. It was previously detected in a nova outburst in McLaughlin (1945). Allen (1984) classified the object as a symbiotic star without providing a spectrum. Duerbeck (1987) commented that the spectrum resembled that of a symbiotic star. Symbiotic classification was subsequently questioned by Esipov et al. (1988) but supported by Munari et al. (1990), who suggested an orbital period of 43±5 years (see also Munari & Jurdana-Šepić (2002) and Shore et al., 2011). Another outburst was reported by Munari et al. (1994). In Tatarnikova et al. (2003), lithium was detected in the spectrum of V407 Cyg. The last observed outburst occurred in 2010 (Hirosawa, 2010; Munari et al., 2011; Shore et al., 2011). Coronal emission lines appeared in the spectrum during the 2010 outburst (Munari et al., 2010), and the event was also detected in gamma-rays (Abdo et al., 2010; Aliu et al., 2012). In Iłkiewicz et al. (2019), it was demonstrated that the system might be a progenitor of a Type Ia supernova.
