Emission light curves predicted by our model for LS 5039 for different energy bands and inclinations of the system. The contributions from the inner (dashed orange lines), middle (dashed-dotted green lines), and far regions (dotted red lines) together with their sum (solid blue lines) are shown (for a description of the regions, see the main text). For better visualisation, we show the same data for two orbits. The results are shown for different energy bands together with observations in individual rows (from top to bottom): soft X-rays (1−10 keV; Takahashi et al. 2009), HE gamma-rays (0.2−3 GeV; Hadasch et al. 2012), and VHE (>1 TeV; Aharonian et al. 2006) gamma-rays. In the left column, results are shown for an inclination i = 30° of the orbital plane, while in the right column the results for an inclination i = 60° are presented. In addition to the orbital phases described in the main text, we show three more light curve points at ϕ ∼ 0.55, 0.65, and 0.85. The error bars indicate the variability introduced by turbulence (see Sect. 3.4).
