摘要:

我们的目的是显示如何可变多普勒助推的内在可变射流可以解释长期调制1667 \pm 8天观察到的无线电发射LSI+61303。的物理场景是,一个圆锥形的,磁化等离子体射流具有周期性(P1)增加的相对论粒子,Nrel,在一个特定的轨道相位,如预测的LSI+61303的偏心轨道吸积。喷流进动(P2)改变喷流轴线和视线之间的角度η,从而引起可变的多普勒增强。该问题被定义在球面几何中,并通过考虑到等离子体沿射流轴分层的旋进射流的光学深度计算。我们计算了这种喷流的同步辐射,并将得到的通量密度Smodel(t)与绿岸射电干涉仪对LSI+61303进行6.5年监测期间获得的观测通量密度进行了拟合。我们对LSI+61303系统的物理模型不仅能够再现射电发射的长期调制,而且还再现了射电源的所有其他观测特征,爆发的轨道调制,轨道相移和光谱指数特性。此外,对应关系似乎存在于由进动引起的喷射角的变化和VLBA图像中观察到的位置角的快速旋转之间。我们的结论是,长期调制的峰值发生时,喷流电子密度在其最大值附近,接近喷流与视线形成最小的可能角度。这种发射粒子的最大数量和它们的发射的最大多普勒增强的巧合每1667天发生一次,并产生在LSI+61303中观察到的长期调制。

英文摘要:

Our aim is to show how variable Doppler boosting of an intrinsically variable jet can explain the long-term modulation of 1667 \pm 8 days observed in the radio emission of LSI+61303. The physical scenario is that of a conical, magnetized plasma jet having a periodical (P1) increase of relativistic particles, Nrel, at a specific orbital phase, as predicted by accretion in the eccentric orbit of LSI+61303. Jet precession (P2) changes the angle, eta, between jet axis and line of sight, thereby inducing variable Doppler boosting. The problem is defined in spherical geometry, and the optical depth through the precessing jet is calculated by taking into account that the plasma is stratified along the jet axis. The synchrotron emission of such a jet was calculated and we fitted the resulting flux density Smodel(t) to the observed flux density obtained during a 6.5-year monitoring of LSI+61303 by the Green Bank radio interferometer. Our physical model for the system LSI+61303 is not only able to reproduce the long-term modulation in the radio emission, but it also reproduces all the other observed characteristics of the radio source, the orbital modulation of the outbursts, their orbital phase shift, and their spectral index properties. Moreover, a correspondence seems to exist between variations in the ejection angle induced by precession and the rapid rotation in position angle observed in VLBA images. We conclude that the peak of the long-term modulation occurs when the jet electron density is around its maximum and the approaching jet is forming the smallest possible angle with the line of sight. This coincidence of maximum number of emitting particles and maximum Doppler boosting of their emission occurs every 1667 days and creates the long-term modulation observed in LSI+61303.
