The X-ray binary 2S0114+650=LSI+65 010:A slow pulsar or tidally-induced pulsations?

Abstract

The X-ray source 2S0114+650=LSI+65 010 is a binary system containing a B-type primary and a low mass companion believed to be a neutron star. The system has three reported periodicities: the orbital period, P{orb}~11.6 d, X-ray flaring with P{flare}~2.7 hr, and a "superorbital" X-ray periodicity P{super}~30.7 d. The objective of this paper is to show that the puzzling periodicities in the system may be explained in the context of scenarios in which tidal interactions drive oscillations in the B-supergiant star. We calculate the solution of the equations of motion for one layer of small surface elements distributed along the equator of the star, as they respond to the forces due to gas pressure, centrifugal, coriolis, viscous forces, and the gravitational forces of both stars. This calculation provides variability timescales that can be compared with the observations. In addition, we use observational data obtained at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional en San Pedro Mártir (OAN/SPM) between 1993-2004 to determine which of the periodicities may be present in the optical region. We suggest that the tidal oscillations lead to a structured stellar wind which, when fed to the neutron star, produces the X-ray modulations. The connection between the stellar oscillations and the modulation of the mass ejection may lie in the shear energy dissipation generated by the tangential motions that are produced by the tidal interaction, particularly in the tidal bulge region. The tidal oscillation scenario weakens the case for 2S0114+650 containing a magnetar descendent.
