Descripción
We present the results of the first multiwavelength observing campaign
on the high-mass X-ray binary LS I +61 303, comprising observations at
the TeV regime with the MAGIC telescope, along with X-ray observations
with Chandra, and radio interferometric observations with the MERLIN,
EVN, and VLBA arrays, in 2006 October and November. From our MERLIN
observations, we can exclude the existence of large-scale (~100 mas)
persistent radio jets. Our 5.0 GHz VLBA observations display
morphological similarities to previous 8.4 GHz VLBA observations carried
out at the same orbital phase, suggesting a high level of periodicity
and stability in the processes behind the radio emission. This makes it
unlikely that variability of the radio emission is due to the
interaction of an outflow with variable wind clumps. If the radio
emission is produced by a milliarcsecond scale jet, it should also show
a stable, periodic behavior. It is then difficult to reconcile the
absence of a large-scale jet (~100 mas) in our observations with the
evidence of a persistent relativistic jet reported previously. We find a
possible hint of temporal correlation between the X-ray and TeV
emissions and evidence for radio/TeV noncorrelation, which points to the
existence of one population of particles producing the radio emission
and a different one producing the X-ray and TeV emissions. Finally, we
present a quasi-simultaneous energy spectrum including radio, X-ray, and
TeV bands.
Based on observations made with the MAGIC telescope, the Chandra X-ray
Observatory, and the MERLIN, EVN, and NRAO VLBA arrays.
