Abstract

The MAGIC collaboration has recently reported correlated X-ray and VHE gamma-ray emission from the gamma-ray binary LS I +61?303 during ~60% of one orbit, thus suggesting that the emission in these two bands has its origin in a single particle population. Using a one zone population of relativistic leptonic particles with dominant adiabatic losses located at the position of the compact object we are able to reproduce the observed X-ray and VHE lightcurves. From the best fit result, we obtain the magnetic field, energy budget and acceleration efficiency of the accelerator, and discuss these in the context of the young non-acretting pulsar and acretting compact object scenarios. The results also confirm that the GeV emission detected by Fermi does not come from the same parent particle population as the X-ray and VHE emission.
