1 Schmeer, Patrick Gaia DR2 parallax 2.4421 ± 0.0265 mas (distance 404.7 ± 4.4 pc).
2 Linnolt, Mike Since late 2014, this star has had a dramatic change in behavior. It has shown characteristics of standstill from Dec 2014 - Feb 2015, a few typical UG-like outbursts, then more irregular behavior since end of Apr 2015, with rapid and peculiar variations in brightness of reduced intermediate amplitudes. It may be a UGZ subtype, or some other type, but further data is needed to clarify.
3 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Never any standstill in decades of coverage.
4 Otero, Sebastian Alberto GCVS outburst cycle is 13.4 d.
