Recent observations of the binary system LS 5039 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) revealed that its Very High Energy (VHE) γ-ray emission is modulated at the 3.9 days orbital period of the system. The bulk of the emission is largely confined to half of the orbit, peaking around the inferior conjunction epoch of the compact object. The flux modulation provides the first indication of γ-ray absorption by pair production on the intense stellar photon field. This implies that the production region size must be not significantly greater than the gamma-gamma photosphere size (∼1 AU), thus excluding the large scale collimated outflows or jets (extending out to ∼1000 AU). A hardening of the spectrum is also observed at the same epoch between 0.2 and a few TeV which is unexpected under a pure absorption scenario and could rather arise from variation with phase in the maximum electron energy and/or the dominant VHE γ-ray production mechanism. This first-time observation of modulated γ-ray emission allows precise tests of the acceleration and emission models in binary systems. Mathieu de Naurois for the H.E.S.S. Collaboration.  相似文献

A general review is given of the results of the airglow and auroral investigations during I.G.Y and I.G.C. in the Institute for Atmospheric Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. A strong helium emission at 10830 Å has been discovered in sunlit aurorae and in the ordinary twilight airglow. It is now observed regularly. A detailed theory of this fluorescent emission has been developed. Extensive observations on the hydroxyl bands between 5000 and 12,000 Å have been carried out at a number of stations. Marked seasonal and geographical variations have been found in them. During intense aurorae the line-width of the 6300 Å emission from great altitudes increases. The effect has been studied using Fabry-Perot interferometers. Contributions have been made to knowledge on auroral morphology. The interpretation of some of the results which are described in the review are discussed.  相似文献

A variety of transient X-ray phenomena have been studied by the M.I.T. X-ray Astronomy Group. Data from the OSO-7 satellite reveal both long and short time-scale transients. Extensive observations have been made of the Lupus X-ray Nova (3U1543-47) and of GX339-4 (MX1658-48) which may represent a very different type of transient source A unique, intense X-ray flare lasting ten minutes was also recorded, and the X-ray emission from the active galaxy Cen A was found to vary significantly over a period of several days. In a recent ballon flight the Crab, pulsar, NP0532, was observed to exhibit a transient pulsed component distinct from the usual main pulse and interpulse. A sounding-rocket experiment detected an ultrasoft transient X-ray source tentatively associated with SS Cygni, and preliminary results from SAS-3 show a very hard spectrum for the new source A0535+26. On the other hand, extensive OSO-7 null observations of both Type I and II supernovae and of the flaring radio star Algol make it unlikely that these types of objects are potent transient X-ray emitters.Supported in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under contracts NGL 22-009-015, NSR 22-009-654 and grant NGL 22-099-730 and by the National Science Foundation under grant GP-31378.Paper presented, at the COSPAR Symposium on Fast Transients in X- and Gamma-Rays, held at Varna, Bulgaria, 29–31 May, 1975.  相似文献

The problem of A.T.E.A.S. is treated, for the zonal perturbations, in its Hamiltonian form. The method consists in eliminating angular variables from the Hamiltonian function. Nearly identity canonical transformations are used, first to remove short periodic terms, second to remove long periodic terms. The general solution, up toJ 2 3 , is represented by the generators of the transformations and by the mean motions of averaged variables, known up toJ 2 4 . Open expressions in the eccentricity are avoided as far as possible. It permits to obtain a closed second order theory with closed third order mean motions.Proceedings of the Sixth Conference on Mathematical Methods in Celestial Mechanics held at Oberwolfach (West Germany) from 14 to 19 August, 1978.  相似文献
