COMPTEL 3−10 and 10−30 MeV significance maps of the LS 5039 sky region, generated in galactic coordinates (l,b). The maps give the evidence for GRO J1823-12 for the orbital phase intervals INFC (orbital phase 0.45−0.90) and SUPC (orbital phase ≤0.45 and >0.9) of LS 5039. The contour lines start at a detection significance of 3σ (1 d.o.f. for a known source) with a step of 0.5σ. The locations of the simultaneously fitted known COMPTEL sources, LS 5039 (diamonds), PKS 1830-210 (square) are indicated. The quasar PKS 1622-297 and a possible source at the Galactic center, both out of the plot region, were also taken into account in the simultaneous fitting. We clearly find a more significant source for the inferior conjunction period. See text for more details on the maps.
