摘要: Microquasars are binary star systems with relativistic radio-emitting jets. They potential sources of cosmic rays and can be used to elucidate the physics We report detection variable gamma-ray emission above 100 gigaelectron volts from microquasar LS I 61 + 303. Six orbital cycles were recorded. Several detections occur at a similar phase, which suggests that is periodic. The strongest not observed when two stars closest one another, implying strong modulation or absorption processes.
