Comments:
This system presents an intra-band radio spectral index suggesting non-thermal emission. In addition, the radio emission is too bright to result only from the thermal free free emission from the stellar winds (Kurapati et al. 2017).
A visual companion has been detected at about 36 mas (with rather large uncertainty on the separation), potentially indicating a higher multiplicity system (Sana et al. 2014). In this scenario, the synchrotron radio emission may arise from a wind collision in the wider orbit.
