notes The primary is an unresolved binary, also an Alpha CVn type variable, P = 1.74 d, and a spectrum variable (K. Rakos, Lowell Obs. Bull. 5, 227; 1962; B. Klock, Astron. J. 70, 176; 1965). The RV variation has not been confirmed. Star C (mag. 8.4, dG4) is probably physical, but Hopmann (Mitt. Wien 10, 260; 1960) computed a hyperbolic orbit for it as there is some RV difference between C and A.
