HESS J0632+057: A New Gamma-Ray Binary?

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) survey of the Galactic plane has established the existence of a substantial number (~ 40) of Galactic TeV gamma -ray sources, a large fraction of which remain unidentified. HESS J0632+057 is one of a small fraction of these objects, which is point-like in n...
