AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE NATURE OF THE RELATIVISTIC COMPACT OBJECT IN THE MICRO-QUASAR SYSTEM LS 5039: A MULTI-WAVELENGTH STUDY
LS 5039 is a high mass binary system that shows multi-wavelength broad non-thermal emission. It is also a very high energy gamma-ray emitter, with TeV energy gamma-rays detected by H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System). The nature of the compact object is unknown, but a mass > 1:44M is impli...
