1 Otero, Sebastian Alberto Downes remark: "CQ Dra is a Mira-type variable with a spectroscopic CV companion. It is not clear whether the system is triple (with the period quoted [0.1656 d.] being the orbital period of a CV binary) or double (with the period quoted [0.1656 d.] being the rotation period of an accreting magnetic white dwarf; (2003MNRAS.346..855W) claim the object is a symbiotic variable rather than a cv based on the x-ray properties." The photometric variability contradicts the above, the star is not a mira-variable. According to 2003MNRAS.346..855W the case for a 4 h. periodic modulation is not strong.
