LSI +61 303 Resource Page
LSI +61 303 (also known as GT 0236+610 and V615 Cas and probably associated with the gamma-ray source 2CG 135+01) is a very unusual High-Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) which exhibits bright radio outbursts once every 26.5 days. This system has been observed by many groups at all wavelengths from radio to gamma-rays but still the energy source powering the radio bursts and their relation to the high-energy emission remains a mystery. This WWW page is an attempt to provide a resource page containing information on observations of this source to facilitate multi-frequency collaborations which will finally lead to a complete understanding of its nature. I will include contact information for people interested in this source, links to recent papers related to this source, and information on current and ongoing observations of LSI +61 303 at all wavelengths.
