Notes

It was reported that DT Ser displays a G-type absorption spectrum with superimposed emission lines, leading to the suggestion that the object is likely a symbiotic system (Bond, 1978). Subsequently, a planetary nebula centered on DT Ser was discovered (Munari et al., 2013). However, a later study argued against a physical connection between the planetary nebula and DT Ser, stating that there is no evidence supporting DT Ser as a dusty post-AGB star (Frew et al., 2014).
