TeV和X射线监测LS I +61 303与VERITAS、Swift和RXTE

TeV and X-ray Monitoring of LS I +61 303 With VERITAS, Swift, and RXTE

VERITAS Collaboration, A. Smith

摘要:

2006年9月至2007年2月,银河双星LS I +61 303在TeV波段被VERITAS成像切伦科夫望远镜阵列监测。这些观测结果证实了LS I +61 303是一个可变TeV的伽马射线源,其发射峰值在轨道相位0.6和0.7之间。在这一观测期间,还使用RXTE和Swift探测器进行了X射线监测,这两个探测器提供了对源的补充覆盖。在0.2-10千电子伏波段的爆发被两颗卫星观测到,在两个波段同时覆盖的2个轨道周期期间,与TeV峰值接近相同的轨道相位。虽然这个源在过去已经在X射线波段进行了广泛的研究,但这是第一次利用LS I +61 303上同期的X射线和TeV数据的观测活动。

英文摘要:

Between September 2006 and February 2007, the galactic binary LS I +61 303 was monitored in the TeV band with the VERITAS array of imaging Cherenkov telescopes. These observations confirm LS I +61 303 as a variable TeV gamma-ray source, with emission peaking between orbital phase 0.6 and 0.7. During this observational period, monitoring in the X-ray regime was also carried out using both the RXTE and Swift detectors, which offered complementary coverage of the source. Outbursts in the 0.2-10 keV band were observed by both satellites at close to the same orbital phase as the TeV peak during the 2 orbital cycles covered simultaneously in both bands. While this source has been extensively studied in the X-ray band in the past, this is the first observational campaign to utilize contemporaneous X-ray and TeV data on LS I +61 303.
