Correlation between the TeV γ-ray and X-ray emission from an accreting X-ray binary
نویسندگان
چکیده
The signal strength of TeV gamma rays from the accreting X-ray binary Cen X-3 shows evidence for correlation with both the RXTE/ASM and the BATSE X-ray signal strengths. The time scale for the variability of the gamma rays may be similar to that of X-rays and as short as a day.

Correlation between the X-ray and Tev Gamma Ray Emission from an Accreting X-ray Binary
Measurements of the signal strength of TeV gamma rays from the accreting X-ray binary Cen X-3 show evidence for correlation with both the RXTE/ASM and the BATSE X-ray signal strengths. There are indications that the time scale for the variability of the gamma rays may be similar to that of X-rays and as short as a day. These features of the X-ray and TeV emission from an accreting binary show m...
متن کاملTeV Gamma-rays from accreting magnetars in massive binaries
We consider the neutron star (NS) of the magnetar type inside the massive binary system. We determine the conditions under which the matter from the stellar wind can penetrate the inner magnetosphere of the magnetar. At some distance from the NS surface, the magnetic pressure can balance the gravitational pressure of the accreting matter creating very turbulent, magnetized transition region. It...
متن کاملHadronic model for radio - to - TeV γ - ray emission from PSR B 1259
We discuss the implications of the recent Xray and TeV γ-ray observations of the PSR B1259–63 system (a young rotation powered pulsar orbiting a Be star) for the theoretical models of interaction of pulsar and stellar winds. We show that previously considered models in which the pulsar wind is purely electron loaded have problems to account for the observed behaviour of the system in the TeV an...
متن کاملConstraints on the role of synchrotron X-rays from jets of accreting black holes
We present an extension of the scale invariance formalism by Heinz & Sunyaev (2003) which includes the effects of radiative cooling on the X-ray synchrotron emission from core dominated jets and outflows. We derive the scaling relations between the radio luminosity Lr, the synchrotron X-ray luminosity Lx, the mass M , and the accretion rate ṁ of an accreting black hole. We argue that the inclus...
متن کاملVery high energy γ-ray emission from X-ray transients during major outbursts
Context. Some high mass X-ray binaries (HMXB) have been recently confirmed as γ-ray sources by ground based Cherenkov telescopes. In this work, we discuss the γ-ray emission from X-ray transient sources formed by a Be star and a highly magnetized neutron star. This kind of systems can produce variable hadronic γ-ray emission through the mechanism proposed by Cheng and Ruderman, where a proton b...
