We study a model of of the binary system LS I +61303 in which its radio to TeV emission is due to interaction of a relativistic wind from a young pulsar with the wind from its companion Be star. We find the detailed structure of the stellar wind is c rucial for explaining the properties of the system. The fast polar wind is clumpy, as typical f or radiatively-driven winds. The clumpiness causes the two winds to mix rather than forming a b ow shock spatially separating them. The relativistic… CONTINUE READING
