Comments:
Identified as a non-thermal radio emitter thanks to measurements at low frequencies (Benaglia et al. 2020).
This bright hypergiant may be a candidate for a future LBV phase. A visual companion at about 60 mas has been identified thanks to measurements with the FGS on-board the HST (Caballero-Nieves et al. 2014).
