The discoverers named the object Dracula's Chivito (DraChi), in reference to Gomez's Hamburger (GoHam), a well-known edge-on protoplanetary disk.

[1] The first part of the name is in reference to the fictional character of Count Dracula, called so because the first author Ciprian Berghea grew up in Transylvania and because the very faint protrusions extending far out north from the two disk lobes resembling 'fangs'.

[5] IRAS 23077+6707 was first observed as a possible pre-main-sequence star in 1993[6] and in 2014 it was identified as a possible young stellar object with the help of AKARI.

[1] DraChi is the only third edge-on disk hosting such a massive star (the previous ones being Gomez's Hamburger and PDS 144N) and the largest of them.

Later observations with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) detected carbon monoxide (CO) gas emission in this disk.
