Notes

LHA 115-S 18 is a very peculiar emission-line star exhibiting the B[e] phenomenon. Its spectrum shows features of an extremely wide range of excitation and ionization stages, extending from highly ionized atomic lines (Si IV, C IV, He II) in the ultraviolet and optical regions to molecular emission bands of CO and TiO in the optical and infrared regions (Torres et al., 2012). Raman-scattered O VI lines were also observed in the spectra of the star. However, according to their analysis, a symbiotic B[e] scenario seems not to be the most plausible. Therefore, it was classified as a suspected symbiotic star. On the other hand, Akras et al. (2019) lists this star as confirmed.
