Stenholm & Acker (1987) detected emission lines of He I, He II, [Fe VII], and O VI. Later, in Acker et al. (1988), the target was classified as a symbiotic star based on the detection of O VI lines. Subsequently, Ivison & Seaquist (1995) classified the target as a symbiotic Mira. However, this classification was disputed by Munari & Jurdana-Šepić (2002).
