Notes

Included in the list of possible symbiotic stars or closely related objects in Munari & Zwitter (2002), only Balmer lines are visible in the spectra. Classified as a red supergiant star in Boyer et al. (2011). Identified as a long-period variable in Soszyński et al. (2011), where they obtained a period of 186.98 days.
