Abstract

Context. MWC 297 is a nearby young massive B[e] star. The central star is attenuated by 8 mag in the optical and has a high projected rotational velocity of 350 km s-1. Despite the wealth of published observations, the nature of this object and its circumstellar environment is not understood very well.
