Figure: Figure 1.
The measured radio flux densities of LSI+61 at = 4.9 GHz
(filled circles)
and = 1.5 GHz (open circles).
Figure 2: Figure 2.
The observed x-ray flux over the 0.07 to 2.48 kev band. The
three curves
are calculated fluxes based on three different spectral
models,
power law (circles), optically-thin thermal emission (squares)
and black body
(triangles).
Figure 3: Figure 3.
Comparison of the x-ray and radio flux density and spectral
variations.
The top panel shows the 4.9 GHz radio flux density (solid line
and circles) and the x-ray flux (dashed line and triangles).
In both
cases the flux measurements have been normalized by the peak
flux.
The radio spectral index between 4.9 GHz and 1.5 GHz is shown
in the central
panel.
The bottom panel shows the x-ray hardness ratio, defined as
the
ratio of photon counts in the energy range 1.0 to 2.48 keV to
those in the 0.07 to 1.0 keV range. There is a suggestion of
hardening of the x-ray emission at peak x-ray flux co-incident
with the onset of the second radio outburst.
All quantities are plotted against radio phase.
Figure: Figure 4.
The x-ray light curve superposed on the distribution of radio
outburst
peak flux densities. Each square represents the phase and
peak
flux density for every radio outburst from LSI+61 for which the
these values
can be unambiguously determined. The x-ray light curve has
been
scaled in flux to arbitrary units. The range of phase over
which the
x-ray emission is high matched very well the average phase
interval over
which LSI+61 is active in the radio.
