Notes

The object is typically classified as a protoplanetary nebula with axial symmetry. The symbiotic nature was first suggested by Cohen et al. (1985), who observed an M9 central star with a blue companion. Alcolea et al. (2001) suggested that the system might be a symbiotic star with a unique thick molecular envelope. On the other hand, Sánchez Contreras et al. (2004) suggested that the system consists of an M9-10 III star and an MS star with spectral type A. Frew & Parker (2010) supported the symbiotic hypothesis as they hypothesized that the nebula is probably a symbiotic outflow.
