Balmer and Fe II (42) multiplet emission were discovered in a spectrum of HD 63021 on 10 April (UTC), 2018. Subsequent observations revealed variability in both photospheric absorption lines and Balmer line emission. In addition, it is an X-ray source, with a luminosity that is consistent with either a very strong stellar wind, or else the presence of a compact binary companion. Spectroscopic and photometric followup are planned to determine the nature of this source.
