We derive light curves for the hard gamma-ray emission, at energies up to several TeV, expected from the unique pulsar/Be-star binary system PSR B1259-63. This is the only known system in our galaxy in which a radio pulsar is orbiting a…
PSR J2032+4127 is a radio-loud gamma-ray-emitting pulsar; it is orbiting around a high-mass Be type star with a very long orbital period of 25-50years, and is approaching periastron, which will occur in late 2017/early 2018. This system…
We report here on a sequence of 28 observations of the binary pulsar system PSR B1259-63/SS2883 at four radio frequencies made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array around the time of the 2000 periastron passage. Observations made on…
PSR B1259-63 is the only known binary system with a radio pulsar from which the non-pulsed radio and X-ray emission was detected. The companion star in this system is a Be star SS 2883. A rapidly rotating radio pulsar is expected to produce…
PSR~J2032+4127 is the only one of gamma-ray binary, that exhibits pulsations in gamma-ray. Previous research has indicated that the pulsar and the Be star MT91 213 orbit each other in a highly eccentric orbit with an extremely long period,…
We have performed a series of Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the gamma-ray binary LS 2883, which is comprised of a young pulsar (PSR B1259-63) orbiting a massive Be star with a period of 1236.7 days. The system was observed in 5…
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$26.5 days. The binary system also exhibits…
Context. Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object whose interaction leads to particle acceleration up to relativistic energies. In the last fifteen years, a few binaries have been discovered to emit at…
The spectral energy distribution from the X-ray to the very high energy regime ($>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…
We study the physical processes of the PSR B1259-63 system containing a 47 ms pulsar orbiting around a Be star in a highly eccentric orbit. Motivated by the results of a multiwavelength campaign during the January 1994 periastron passage of…
The observed TeV light curve from the $\gamma$-ray binary PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 shows a decrease in the flux at periastron which has not been fully explained by emission mechanisms alone. This observed decrease can, however, be explained by…
Non-thermal variable emission from radio to very-high energy gamma rays (VHE; >100 GeV) are the prime characteristics of gamma-ray binaries. The underlying physical processes leading to the observed VHE emission are not well understood, as…
The data for VHE (~TeV) gamma rays from young gamma-ray pulsar PSR1509-58 observed in 1996 with the CANGAROO 3.8m Cerenkov imaging telescope are presented, as well as the additional data from March to June of 1997. The high spin-down…
We present observations of the gamma-ray binary PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at Bands 3 (97 GHz), 6 (233 GHz), and 7 (343 GHz). PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 consists of a pulsar in a highly…
We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope discovery of gamma-ray pulsations from the 22.7 ms pulsar A in the double pulsar system J0737-3039A/B. This is the first mildly recycled millisecond pulsar (MSP) detected in the GeV domain. The 2.7 s…
Aims. The aim of this paper is to analyse the previously discovered discontinuity of the periodicity of the GeV $\gamma$-ray emission of the radio-loud X-ray binary LS I +61{\deg}303 and to determine its physical origin. Methods. We used…
LS I +61 303 is an exceptionally rare example of a high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) that also exhibits MeV-TeV emission, making it one of only a handful of "gamma-ray binaries". Here we present H-alpha spectra that show strong variability…
1FGL J1018.6-5856 is a high mass gamma-ray binary containing a compact object orbiting around a massive star with a period of 16.544 d. If the compact object is a pulsar, non-thermal emissions are likely produced by electrons accelerated at…
