Comments:

NPD
Mn moments order under 475K
Er moments order below 5.5K according to a FM arrangement on the ab plane. The moments direction on this plane is undetermined. A direction of maximal symmetry is assumed. An alternative possible direction of maximal symmetry with different MSG is the (1,1,0) direction.

Comments (symmetry):

2k magnetic structure
Mn and Er moments order separately according to two different irreps with different wave vectors.
