Quality flag (Q): I

Comments:
The dominant non-thermal radio source should be coincident with the wind-wind interaction region associated to the 6.7 yr orbit (Kennedy et al.2010, Ortiz-Léon et al.2011). Another source of non-thermal radio emission seems to be associated to the wider orbit, and has been resolved (Contreras et al.1997).
Upper limits on the hard X-ray emission based on INTEGRAL observations have been published in De Becker et al. (2007).
