摘要:

TeV高质量X射线双星LS I +61 ° 303最特殊的射电特征是两个周期:一个与轨道周期相同的大周期爆发(相位Φ)和第二个1667天的周期(相位Θ),它调制了大爆发的轨道相位和振幅。最近分析的无线电光谱指数提出了强有力的证据,从光学厚发射(相关的稳定喷流)的光学薄爆发(相关的瞬态喷流)在其他微类星体的临界过渡的存在。并行地,将预期从低/硬X射线状态到过渡状态(例如,陡峭幂律状态)的切换。我们展示了从光学厚发射到光学薄爆发的临界跃迁是如何被Θ调制的。在太大的Θ间隔上折叠会混淆关于爆发的重要信息,并可能产生源沿轨道的发射行为的错误图像。因此,我们分析了这一长周期对处理从LS I +61 ° 303获得的硬X射线/高能数据的影响,例如,使用费米LAT或INTEGRAL,考虑到这一长周期性。

英文摘要:

The most peculiar radio characteristics of the TeV emitting high-mass X-ray binary LS I +61°303 are two periodicities: A large periodic outburst which exhibits the same period as the orbit (phase Φ) and a second periodicity of 1667 days (phase Θ) which modulates the orbital phase and amplitude of the large outburst. Recent analysis of the radio spectral index present strong evidence for the presence of the critical transition from optically thick emission (related to a steady jet) to an optically thin outburst (related to a transient jet) as in other microquasars. In parallel, a switch from a low/hard X-ray state to a transitional state (e.g. steep power law state) would be expected. We show how the critical transition from optically thick emission to an optically thin outburst is modulated by Θ. Folding over a too large Θ-interval mixes up important information about the outbursts and can yield a false picture of the emission behaviour of the source along the orbit. We therefore analyse the implications of this long period for treatment of hard X-ray/high energy data obtained from LS I +61°303, e.g. with Fermi-LAT or INTEGRAL, taking into account this long-term periodicity.
