NOTES

MAXI J1543-564: Rau2011a reported 3 possible objects (A, B and C) close or within the radio (Miller-Jones2011b) and X-ray (Kennea2011a) error circles. Lopez2019 resolved the star B into B1 and B2 which magnitudes are reported in the quiescence magnitude section. The ourburst magnitude reported by Rau2011a probably refers to B1+B2.
