Abstract
The star LSI +61 degrees 303 as a radio source with unusual properties is considered. We propose a model of an Induced Pulsator for radio ou tbursts in LSI +61 degrees 303. In our model, the relativistic electro ns injected by the radiopulsar are captured by the magnetosphere of th e Be-star when the pulsar passed near periastron. Then the captured el ectrons are cooled slowly due to synchrotron losses. The model was app lied to data obtained by Gregory and Taylor in August 1977, August-Sep tember 1978 and August-September 1981. These data allow to the determi nation of parameters of the source LSI +61 degrees 303.
