- Abstract
Astract: The long-term behavior of a colliding wind binary WR 25 is presented using archival X-ray data obtained over a time span of : 16 years. The present analysis reveals phase-locked variations repeating consistently over many consecutive orbits of the source (with binary orbital period : 208 days). A significant deviation of the X-ray flux with respect to the theoretical 1/D trend (D is the binary separation) close to periastron passage has been observed. This may occur due to the shifting of the adiabatic wind collision to the radiative regime in that part of the orbit. Further, no signature of X-ray emission in 10.0-79.0 keV energy range attributable to inverse Compton scattering is detected by NuSTAR.
