Notes

Sanduleak's star is usually classified as a symbiotic star, although no direct optical evidence confirming the presence of the giant component exists. Angeloni et al. (2011) discovered a giant, highly collimated jet extending 14 parsecs from the star. Over at least two decades, Sanduleak's star has been steadily fading at an apparent constant rate of approximately 0.03 mag/yr in all bands (Angeloni et al., 2014).
