Statistics

Scientific paper

Previous ACIS observations of LS 5039 have provided evidence of extended emission which consists of variable and possibly moving knots and a more compact asymmetric structure near the microquasar. However, the observations were either very short or the source was imaged very far off-axis. The poor statistics and the very broad off-axis PSF make it difficult to distinguish between intrinsically extended emission and emission produced by unresolved point sources. In a deeper, on-axis observation we will resolve these ambiguities, understand the nature of the variable knots, measure their motion, and study the asymmetric extended emission in the vicinity of LS 5039. This will help to understand the nature of LS 5039 and the mechanisms responsible for its high-energy emission.
