Scientific paper

Radio jets have been recently discovered from the massive X-ray binary LS 5039/ RX J1826.2-1450 qualifying the source as one of the nearest micro-quasar. A strong unresolved iron emission line is seen in the RXTE PCA observations. Our AO2 observation found the source in a faint state with no iron line visible. We propose to try to catch the source in a bright state by triggering observations when the mass loss rate of the primary and consequently X-ray luminosity increases. This can be done by monitoring the equivalent width of the H alpha line. The intensity and width of the Fe K alpha line components and the possible presence of edges will bring information on the physical conditions in the source.
