Scientific paper

The recent detection of VHE gamma-rays from LS 5039 with the HESS allows deep theoretical studies of radiation processes in there. Assuming an IC origin of this radiation, we performed detailed calculations of the electron evolution taking into account geometrical effects. These effects play crucial role in the formation of the gamma-radiation through the anisotropic IC and pair-production. We show that for a combination of model parameters we can approximately explain both the energy spectrum of gamma-rays extending to 20 TeV, and the observed modulation of the gamma-ray signal with the orbital period.
