Studying the properties of the radio emitter in LS 5039

摘要:

LS 5039是一颗X射线双星,它有非热射电辐射。在$\sim 5$ GHz的辐射是相当稳定的和光学薄的,由一个主导的核心加上扩展的喷流状结构。有一个频谱营业额约1千兆赫,并在1年的时间尺度在234兆赫的变化的证据。我们使用现有的宽带无线电数据调查的无线电发射属性,并假设两种可能的情况来解释营业额:自由自由吸收的恒星风,或同步自吸收。我们利用转换频率、星风密度、辐射源的位置、大小、磁场和发射电子的洛伦兹因子之间的关系,以及对能量收支的合理假设,来推断低频射电辐射源的性质。此外,我们把这些信息的背景下,宽带无线电数据。低频射电辐射源的位置和大小可以限制在距主星$\ga$几个天文单位,其磁场为$\sim 3\times 10^{-3}-1$ G,电子洛伦兹因子为$\sim 10-100$。观察到的VLBA扩展结构的变化将指向电子体速度$\ga 3\times 10^8$ cm s $^{-1}$,而在5 GHz的变化少得多的辐射将指示VLBA核心$\la 10^8$ cm s $^{-1}$的速度。在高状态下,234 MHz的发射将主要来自比主导宽带无线电发射器更大的区域。我们提出了一个方案,其中次级对,通过伽马射线吸收和恒星风中移动,是后面的稳定的宽带无线电核心,而解决喷流一样的无线电发射将来自准直,更快,流出。

英文摘要:

LS 5039 is an X-ray binary that presents non-thermal radio emission. The radiation at $\sim 5$ GHz is quite steady and optically thin, consisting on a dominant core plus an extended jet-like structure. There is a spectral turnover around 1 GHz, and evidence of variability at timescales of 1 yr at 234 MHz. We investigate the radio emitter properties using the available broadband radio data, and assuming two possible scenarios to explain the turnover: free-free absorption in the stellar wind, or synchrotron self-absorption. We use the relationships between the turnover frequency, the stellar wind density, the emitter location, size and magnetic field, and the Lorentz factor of the emitting electrons, as well as a reasonable assumption on the energy budget, to infer the properties of the low-frequency radio emitter. Also, we put this information in context with the broadband radio data. The location and size of the low-frequency radio emitter can be restricted to $\ga$ few AU from the primary star, its magnetic field to $\sim 3\times 10^{-3}-1$ G, and the electron Lorentz factors to $\sim 10-100$. The observed variability of the extended structures seen with VLBA would point to electron bulk velocities $\ga 3\times 10^8$ cm s$^{-1}$, whereas much less variable radiation at 5 GHz would indicate velocities for the VLBA core $\la 10^8$ cm s$^{-1}$. The emission at 234 MHz in the high state would mostly come from a region larger than the dominant broadband radio emitter. We suggest a scenario in which secondary pairs, created via gamma-ray absorption and moving in the stellar wind, are behind the steady broadband radio core, whereas the resolved jet-like radio emission would come from a collimated, faster, outflow.
