TeV scale gravity scenario predicts that the black hole production dominates over all other interactions above the scale and that the Large Hadron Collider will be a black hole factory. Such higher dimensional black holes mainly decay into…
The population of high energy and very high energy gamma-ray sources, detected with EGRET and the new generation of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, conforms a reduced but physically important sample. Most of these sources are…
M87 is a nearby radio galaxy that has been detected at energies ranging from radio to very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. Its proximity and its jet, misaligned from the line of sight allow detailed morphological studies. The imaging…
Several gamma-ray binaries have been recently detected by the High-Energy Stereoscopy Array (H.E.S.S.) and the Major Atmospheric Imaging Cerenkov (MAGIC) telescope. In two cases, their nature is unknown, since a final observational feature…
PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 is a very high energy (VHE; $E > 100$ GeV) {\gamma}-ray emitting binary consisting of a 48 ms pulsar orbiting around a Be star with a period of $\sim3.4$ years. The Be star features a circumstellar disk which is…
There is a growing new class of young spin-down powered pulsars called GeV-quiet soft gamma-ray pulsar; (1) spectral turnover appears around~10MeV, (2) the X-ray spectra of below 20 keV can be described by power law with photon index around…
The X-ray binary LSI +61 303, consisting of a main sequence Be star and a compact object has been detected in the TeV range with MAGIC and VERITAS, and showed a clear intensity modulation as a function of the orbital phase. We describe a…
The very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) source HESS J0632+057 has been recently confirmed as a \gamma-ray binary, a subclass of the high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) population, through the detection of an orbital period of 321 days. We performed…
LS I +61 303 and LS 5039 are exceptionally rare examples of HMXBs with MeV-TeV emission, making them two of only five known or proposed "gamma-ray binaries". There has been disagreement within the literature over whether these systems are…
We study the gamma-ray emissions from an outer-magnetospheric potential gap around a rotating neutron star. Migratory electrons and positrons are accelerated by the electric field in the gap to radiate copious gamma-rays via curvature…
Recent HESS observations show that microquasars in high-mass systems are sources of VHE gamma-rays. A leptonic jet model for microquasar gamma-ray emission is developed. Using the head-on approximation for the Compton cross section and…
PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 is a binary system where a 48 ms pulsar orbits a massive Be star with a highly eccentric orbit (e=0.87) with a period of 3.4 years. The system exhibits variable, non-thermal radiation visible from radio to very high…
PSRJ 2032+4127 is only the second known gamma-ray binary where it is confirmed that a young radio pulsar is in orbit around a Be-star. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the mass outflow from the companion leads to broad band emission…
LS 5039 is a TeV gamma-ray binary with extended radio emission. It consists of a compact object in the mildly eccentric (e=0.35), 3.9-day orbit around a massive O star. The nature of the compact object is not yet established. In this paper,…
We performed numerical calculations to test the suggestion by Desiati & Lazarian (2013) that the anisotropies of TeV cosmic rays may arise from their interactions with the heliosphere. For this purpose, we used a magnetic field model of the…
The MAGIC collaboration has recently reported the discovery of gamma-ray emission from the binary system LS I +61 303 in the TeV energy region. Here we present new observational results on this source in the energy range between 300 GeV and…
Cygnus X-1 and LS 5039 are two X-ray binaries observed at TeV energies. Both sources are compact systems, contain jet-like (radio) structures, and harbor very luminous O stars. A TeV signal has been found around the superior conjunction of…
We investigate the implications of a massive binary system in the centre of the gamma-ray blazar Mkn~501 and show that the periodical behaviour recently observed in the TeV and X-ray lightcurves may possibly be related to the orbital motion…
We solve the cosmic-ray diffusion around a Galactic black hole binary (microquasars) by considering the finite size of the escape region and the continuous cosmic-ray injection. We find that the energy spectrum of escaping cosmic rays in…
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) survey of the Galactic plane has established the existence of a substantial number (~40) of Galactic TeV gamma-ray sources, a large fraction of which remain unidentified. HESS J0632+057 is one of a…
