The unidentified and variable TeV gamma-ray source HESS J0632+057 was recently reported to show a strong flux increase in X-rays by Swift (ATel #3152) starting Jan. 23, 2011 and staying active at least up to Feb. 6, 2011. Shortly afterwards an increase in the TeV flux around Feb. 7/8, 2011 was reported by the VERITAS collaboration (Atel #3153). The TeV source HESS J0632+057 was suggested to be a binary system and the recent X-ray measurements suggest an orbital period of ~ 320 days (ATel #3152).
