We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 303 with VERITAS at energies above 500 GeV, and in the 2-10 keV hard X-ray bands with RXTE and Swift, sampling nine 26.5 day orbital cycles between September…
LSI +61 303 is one of the most interesting high-mass X-ray binaries owing to its spatially resolved radio emission and its TeV emission, generally attributed to non-thermal particles in an accretion-powered relativistic jet or in the…
We present the results of a multiwavelength observational campaign on the TeV binary system LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array (>200 GeV), Fermi-LAT (0.3-300 GeV), and Swift-XRT (2-10 keV). The data were taken from December 2011…
Between September 2006 and February 2007, the galactic binary LS I +61 303 was monitored in the TeV band with the VERITAS array of imaging Cherenkov telescopes. These observations confirm LS I +61 303 as a variable TeV gamma-ray source,…
LS I+61303 is one of the few high-mass X-ray binaries that have been recently observed at TeV and GeV energies. Here we investigate the hard X-ray spectral and timing properties of this source using the IBIS/ISGRI instrument on-board the…
One of the most enigmatic TeV binary systems, LS I +61$^\circ$ 303 exhibits a high degree of flux modulation from radio to TeV wavelengths over a single orbit of the binary system, once every $\sim$26.5 days. The binary system also exhibits…

Since the commissioning of the array in Spring 2007, the VERITAS array (sensitive in the 0.1-50 TeV energy range) has acquired over 300 hours of observations investigating the TeV emission from X-ray binary star systems, in particular…
We study the characteristics of the TeV binary LS I +61$^\circ$ 303 in radio, soft X-ray, hard X-ray, and gamma-ray (GeV and TeV) energies. The long term variability characteristics are examined as a function of the phase of the binary…
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I +61 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-based gamma-ray telescopes VERITAS and MAGIC have reported…
The TeV gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303, approximately 2 kpc from Earth, consists of a low mass compact object in an eccentric orbit around a massive Be star. LS I +61 303 exhibits modulated VHE gamma-ray emission around its 26.5 days orbit,…
We present results of a decade of X-ray observations of the gamma-ray loud binary HESS J0632+057, and interpret the available broadband data in view of the system geometry and emission mechanisms. We have performed an analysis of all X-ray…
We study the long-term spectral and timing behaviour of LS I +61$^{\circ}$303 in hard X-rays (15--150 keV) using $\sim$10 years of survey data from the $Swift$ Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) monitor. We focus on the detection of long…
The high mass X-ray binary LS I +61 303 has been observed over several months in 2006 and 2007 with the VERITAS array of imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes. A signal of high energy gamma rays with energies above 350 GeV is detected in several…
