Orbital geometry of LS I +61 303 looking down on the orbital plane showing the orbit of the compact object around the Be star in units of the orbital semi-major axis. The positions labeled with the orbital phase correspond to periastron, apastron, and inferior and superior conjunctions. The X-ray/VHE multiwavelength campaign covered the phase range shown in green (0.43 < φ < 1.13), while the phase range of the VHE emission outburst is shown in red (0.6 < φ < 0.7). The Be star (blue circle) and the equatorial wind (grey circle) are shown assuming an equatorial disk radius of r_d = 7   R _⋆ .
