Synchrotron "Jets" in Unexpected Places
Abstract
We spent the past three years monitoring the neutron star X-ray binary GX 17+2 in the infrared. We found IR brightening events which recur on a period of 3.01 days and last approximately four hours. We suspect the emission is synchrotron radiation from a jet. In addition we have obtained Spitzer IRS spectroscopy of the intermediate polar (IP) V1223 Sgr suggesting synchrotron emission from IPs may be common.
