Abstract (from CDS):

1FGL J1018.6-5856 is a high mass gamma-ray binary containing a compact object orbiting around a massive star with a period of 16.544 d. If the compact object is a pulsar, non-thermal emissions are likely produced by electrons accelerated at the termination shock, and may also originate from the magnetosphere and the un-shocked wind of the pulsar. In this paper, we investigate the non-thermal emissions from the wind and the shock with different viewing geometries and study the multi-wavelength emissions from 1FGL J1018.6-5856. We present the analysis results of the Fermi/LAT using nearly 10 years of data. The phase-resolved spectra indicate that the GeV emissions comprise a rather steady component that does not vary with orbital motion and a modulated component that shows flux maximum around inferior conjunction. The keV/TeV light curves of 1FGL J1018.6-5856 also exhibit a sharp peak around inferior conjunction, which are attributed to the boosted emission from the shock, while the broad sinusoidal modulations could be originating from the deflected shock tail at a larger distance. The modulations of GeV flux are likely caused by the boosted synchrotron emission from the shock and the IC emission from the un-shocked pulsar wind, while the steady component comes from the outer gap of the pulsar magnetosphere. Finally, we discuss the similarities and differences of 1FGL J1018.6-5856 with other binaries, like LS 5039.
