摘要:

利用巨米波射电望远镜(GMRT)对γ射线双星LS 5039进行了近星和近星通过的观测。结果表明,两种不同轨道相位的谱在低频处是倒置的,并且通量密度没有显著差异。假设射电在星风环境中的自由-自由吸收是产生光学厚射电辐射的主要原因,计算了自由-自由吸收光学厚度,约束了射电辐射区距轨道平面的高度。高度被发现是大约1.6天文单位的球形恒星风几何。如果恒星风被聚焦,或者射电吸收是由于同步加速器自吸收,这个估计可能会改变。

英文摘要:

We have recently studied LS 5039, a gamma-ray binary, with Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) during its periastron and apastron passage. The results presented here show that the spectra are inverted at the low frequency and the flux densities do not differ significantly for two different orbital phases. Assuming that the free-free absorption of radio in stellar wind environment is responsible for the optically thick radio emission we calculated the free-free absorption optical depth and constrained the height of the radio emitting region from the orbital plane. The height is found to be around 1.6 AU for a spherical stellar wind geometry. This estimate may change if the stellar wind is focussed or the radio absorption is due to synchrotron self-absorption.
