Notes.

(1)

We adopted the classification of Imanishi et al. (1996). Rawlings et al. (2000) suggested that it might be an early star, but this is conclusively ruled out by the K-band spectroscopy presented here.

(2)

Photometry obtained from 2MASS, uncertain by ~0.3 mag in each band. The star is too bright for the setup used in our observations, even after strong defocusing.

(3)

We adopted the classification of Imanishi et al. (1996), which is consistent with the near-infrared spectrum presented here. We note, however, that there are highly discrepant spectral classifications of this object (Rawlings et al. 2000).
