Description
MWC 148 is a B0pe-type star suspected to be the counterpart of the
variable TeV gamma-ray source HESS J0632+057, which also shows variable
radio and X-ray emission (Aharonian et al. 2007, A&A, 469, L1;
Acciari et al. 2009, ApJ, 698, L94; Hinton et al. 2009, ApJ, 690, L101;
Skilton et al. 2009, MNRAS, 399, 317; Falcone et al. 2009, ApJ, 708,
L52). MWC 148 is thought to be a gamma-ray binary, although evidence of
binarity from radial velocity measurements is still lacking (Aragona et
al.
