Recently, the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) reported two new interesting results for a gamma-ray emitting supernova remnant, RX J1713.7-3946 (G347.3-0.5). The first result is the establishment of a broken power-law spectrum of…
Aims: LS 5039 is an enigmatic high-mass gamma-ray binary which hosts a powerful O6.5V companion, but the nature of the compact object is still to be established using multi-wavelength observations. Methods: We analyzed phase-resolved…
We report on observations of the pulsar / Be star binary system PSR J2032+4127 / MT91 213 in the energy range between 100 GeV and 20 TeV with the VERITAS and MAGIC imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays. The binary orbit has a…
Guillemot et al. recently reported the discovery of $\gamma$-ray pulsations from the 22.7ms pulsar (pulsar A) in the famous double pulsar system J0737-3039A/B. The $\gamma$-ray light curve (LC) of pulsar A has two peaks separated by…
LS 5039 is a Galactic binary system emitting high and very-high energy gamma rays. The gamma-ray flux is modulated on the orbital period and the TeV lightcurve shaped by photon-photon annihilation. The observed very-high energy modulation…
The emission mechanism of the gamma-ray binary LS5039 in energy bands of TeV, GeV, and X-ray is investigated. Observed light curves in LS5039 show that TeV and GeV fluxes anticorrelate and TeV and X-ray fluxes correlate. However, such…
The spectral energy distribution from the X-ray to the very high energy regime ($>100$ GeV) has been investigated for the $\gamma$-ray binary system PSR B1259-63/SS2883 as a function of orbital phase within the framework of a simple model…
LS I + 61$^\circ$303 is a high-mass X-ray binary system comprising a massive Be star and a rapidly rotating neutron star. Its spectral energy distribution across multi-wavelengths categorizes it as a $\gamma$-ray binary system. In our…
We have developed a model for gamma ray emission in jets of active galactic nuclei in which particle acceleration takes place at a shock in the relativistic jet plasma due to a massive star in the central region of the host galaxy moving…
Broad-band spectra of the FSRQ (flat-spectrum-radio quasars) detected in the high energy gamma-ray band imply that there may be two types of such objects: those with steep gamma-ray spectra, hereafter called MeV-blazars, and those with flat…
Gamma-ray emission in the TeV range has been detected by HESS from two X-ray binaries: PSR B1259-63 and LS 5039. In both, the early-type star provides large numbers of target photons for pair-production with TeV gamma-rays. This results in…
Recent {\gamma}-ray observations suggest that the {\gamma}-ray millisecond pulsar (MSP) population is separated into two sub-classes with respect to the pair multiplicity. Here, we calculate the cosmic ray electron/positron spectra from…
The MAGIC collaboration has recently reported correlated X-ray and very high-energy gamma-ray emission from the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303 during ~60% of one orbit. These observations suggest that the emission in these two bands has its…
Massive Wolf-Rayet stars in a compact binary systems are characterised by very strong winds which collide creating a shock wave. If the wind nuclei accelerated at the shock can reach large enough energies, they suffer disintegration in…
A high-energy component in the radio galaxy Centaurus A was reported after analyzing four years of Fermi data. The spectrum of this component is described by means of a broken power law with a break energy of 4 GeV and, below and above…
PSR B1259-63/SS2883 is a binary system which consists of a 48-ms radio pulsar and a massive star in a highly eccentric orbit with a period of about 3.4 years. Non-pulsed and non-thermal emissions from this binary have been reported in the…
X-ray binaries are composed of a normal star in orbit around a neutron star or stellar-mass black hole. Radio and X-ray observations have led to the presumption that some X-ray binaries called microquasars behave as scaled down active…
Colliding winds of massive binaries have long been considered as potential sites of non-thermal high-energy photon production. This is motivated by the detection of non-thermal spectra in the radio band, as well as by correlation studies of…
It is expected that specific globular clusters can contain up to a hundred of millisecond pulsars. These pulsars can accelerate leptons at the shock waves originated in collisions of the pulsar winds and/or inside the pulsar magnetospheres.…
Context. We have presented a numerical model for the non-thermal emission of gamma-ray binaries in a pulsar-wind driven scenario. Aims. We apply this model to one of the best-observed gamma-ray binaries, the LS 5039 system. Methods. The…
