NOTES

Kaur2017 found two NIR counterpart candidates of the source. However, given that these candidates seem to be high-mass stars and that the color-color diagram indicates that they are part of the field population, the authors suggest that these are actually field stars. An analogous analysis was presented by Zolotukhin2015.
