Abstract
MWC314 = BD + 14° 3887 was discovered by Merrill (1927) who found hydrogen and Fe II emissions in its spectrum. Very few spectroscopic observations of this object are available in the literature. Recently, Miroshnichenko (1996) reported results of its new photometric and medium—resolution 2 A) spectroscopic study. Analysing the SED and Balmer emission line profiles he concluded that MWC 314 is a highly reddened supergiant with a strong and slow stellar wind which could be considered as an LBV candidate.
