Notes. I-band magnitudes quoted are from OGLE-II,-III and -IV (Sect. 2.1). Note that emission lines are single peaked unless otherwise noted. Lindsay (1955), Sanduleak (1978), Azzopardi et al. (1975), Shore & Sanduleak (1982). Shore et al. (1987) and Torres et al. (2012) do not present all the spectra described in these works. Additionally Azzopardi & Breysacher (1975) detected He ii 4686 Å in emission in 1977 October via an objective prism survey.
