W. Collmar Extreme Astrophysics: June 2014 17 Summary/Conclusions
• GRO J1823-12: MeV counterpart LS 5039 (at least for rad. majority) => LS 5039 is a significant MeV-Emitter • MeV properties of LS 5039 - steady (non variable?) emitter - emission maximum at MeV energies (high-energy SED) - emission varies by a factor of ~3 along orbit - in orbital phase with X-rays and TeV γ-rays - in orbital antiphase with >100 MeV γ-rays (Fermi/LAT) - „flip back“ occurs between 10 and 100 MeV => provide constraining infos for source modelling • Modelling - hypotheses: microquasar <-> shocked pulsar wind - correlation X-, MeV γ-, and TeV γ-rays: geometrical origin, e.g. emission at inferior conjunction generally higher (varying Compton Crosssection ?) - simple IC-models do not work
