论文摘要
伽玛射线的恒星来源是现代天体物理学的前线之一,其理解可以从最初不是为其研究设计的观察工具中受益。我们利用当今空间设施的高精度光度能力,以获取有关X射线和伽马射线二进制LS I +61 303的光学行为的新观点。现在可以清楚地观察和研究其效果以低于0.01的幅度表现出的效果表现出来。我们的工作主要基于对光学和伽马射线档案数据的分析,并使用不同协作推荐的工具,这些工具提供了这些有价值的观测资源(尤其是苔丝和费米旋转的观测站)。此外,还进行了互补的地面光谱。我们报告了在LS I +61 303光曲线的一天的时间尺度上发现小振幅光耀斑的发现。暂时提出了解释其起源的不同替代方案。
Stellar sources of gamma rays are one of the front lines in modern astrophysics whose understanding can benefit from observational tools not originally designed for their study. We take advantage of the high precision photometric capabilities of present-day space facilities to obtain a new perspective on the optical behavior of the X-ray and gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303. Previously unknown phenomena whose effects manifest with amplitudes below 0.01 magnitude can now be clearly observed and studied. Our work is mainly based on the analysis of optical and gamma-ray archival data and uses the tools recommended by the different collaborations that provide these valuable observational resources (in particular, the TESS and Fermi orbiting observatories). In addition, complementary ground-based optical spectroscopy has also been conducted. We report the discovery of small-amplitude optical flares on timescales of a day in the LS I +61 303 light curve. Different alternative scenarios to explain their origin are tentatively proposed.
