Symbiotic Star
This star is reported as a symbiotic star.
A white dwarf or neutron star with a red giant companion will accrete material from the companion onto its surface
and if this interaction can be detected spectroscopically it is termed a Symbiotic Star. In the majority of such
systems known, nuclear reactions take place in the accreted material at the surface the white dwarf and the resulting
high temperature (100,000 K) allows ionization of a large fraction of the cool giant's wind producing an emission spectrum.
This object has been the subject of several research projects since it went nova in 1975
Some of the unknown lines indicated have since been assigned to iron and calcium.
A paper published in 1994 assigns the broad line near 6825Å to Raman scattering of the O VI line at 1032Å
