Researchers analyzed the peculiar gamma-ray flares of the gamma-ray binary system PSR B1259-63 and discovered a delay in the GeV flux peak time, with the delay being larger in the latest periastron passage compared to previous periastrons.
PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system, where the compact object is a pulsar. The system has an orbital period of 1236.7 days and shows peculiar gamma-ray flares (in 100 MeV-300 GeV) after its periastron time. We analyzed the Fermi-LAT observation of PSR B1259-63 during its latest periastron passage, as well as its previous three periastrons. The bright GeV flares started about 60 days after the periastron epoch in 2021. This delay is larger than that around the 2017 periastron and much larger than earlier periastrons. The delay of the GeV flux peak time in each periastron passage is apparent in our results. We discussed the possible origin of this delay and made a prediction of the GeV flux peak time in next periastron passage, based on observation of the previous delays.
