Notes

Classified as a true planetary nebula in the HASH Database of PNe (Parker et al., 2016), but they noted the existance of highly collimated bipolar outflows and consequently, the central star is classified as a possible symbiotic star. The spectrum reveals strong Balmer lines, He I, He II, and [O III]. Various studies, such as those by Guerrero & Manchado (1998), Kwok & Su (2005), and Ramos-Larios et al. (2008), have discussed the complex structure of the outflows.
