Description
HESS J0632+057 IS ONE OF THE RARE SIX BINARY SYSTEMS DETECTED ABOVE 100 GEV. BESIDES ITS PECULIAR DOUBLE-PEAK X-RAY LIGHT CURVE HESS J0632+057 IS UNIQUE AMONG THE TEV BINARIES SINCE THE EFFECTS OF THE PULSAR WIND INTERACTING WITH THE STELLAR WIND AND BE DISK ARE OBSERVABLE THROUGHOUT ITS 315 DAY ORBIT IN THE X-RAY AND TEV BANDS. IT IS PROPOSED THAT SIMULTANEOUS NUSTAR+VERITAS OBSERVATIONS OF THE SECONDARY X-RAY PEAK (WHOSE ORIGIN IS STILL UNKNOWN) INCLUDING THE PERIASTRON AND PULSAR-DISK INTERACTION PASSAGE. THESE OBSERVATIONS COMBINED WITH OUR WIND-COLLISION SHOCK MODEL WILL PROBE THE ENHANCED SHOCK ACCELERATION AT PERIASTRON DETERMINE THE ORBITAL SOLUTION AND OFFER A RARE OPPORTUNITY OF STUDYING RELATIVISTIC HYDRODYNAMICS ON HOW THE PULSAR WIND INTERACTS WITH THE DENSE CIRCUMSTELLAR DISK.
