Scientific paper

Among Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, WR148 (HD 197406) appears to be very unusual: it is an extreme runaway, single-line spectroscopic binary in which the companion strongly ionizes the dense WR wind. It has been suggested that WR148 harbors a compact companion, most likely a black hole (BH). Using XMM-Newton we will determine the nature of the companion: we will search for hard X-rays (typically larger than ~6 keV) as the signature of a BH in WR148. We will also identify the soft X-ray (less than ~2.5 keV) emission previously detected from this source.
