1 Schmeer, Patrick Gaia DR2 parallax 4.2988 ± 0.8913 mas (distance 0.25 ± 0.08 kpc).
2 Otero, Sebastian Alberto EXor-like outbursts may be caused by a companion to the Herbig Be star.
3 2010arXiv1007.0682B Binary with a separation of 0.1" consisting of an Herbig Be object (NW component) and a FUOr (SE component).
4 GCVS Team Strong IR excess. Shell spectrum. Several lines show P Cyg profiles. The star is located in a nebula rich in details. A bright wisp of nebulosity near the star has continuons spectrum, probably identical to that of the star [G.H.Herbig, ApJ Suppl 4, N43, 337, 1960.].
