1 Hinzel, David H. Epoch of maximum given. Possible hierarchical triple system with a third body (late M-type) with orbital period = 66.7 +/- 2.5 y and eccentricity = 0.8357. Third body may be responsible for long-term period change.
2 GCVS Team Since 1965 periodic light variations were detected with A(B) = 0.33m and elements Max = 2438815.380 + 0.14502545d*E. These variations are superimposed by others with A(B) = 0.036m and period ~15.6 min or 15.4 min [M.Kubiak, AA 34, N3, 331, 1984.]. There are also rapid oscillations with periods in the range 20 - 40s [B.Warner, MN 195, 101, 1981.].
