Previous long-term monitorings of the gamma-ray-loud X-ray binary LS I +61{\deg}303 have revealed the presence of a long-term modulation of ~4.5 years. After nine years of simultaneous monitoring of LS I +61{\deg}303 by the Owens Valley…

Spectrally hard X-ray emission with double-peak light curves (LCs) and orbitally modulated gamma rays have been observed in some millisecond pulsar binaries, phenomena attributed to intrabinary shocks (IBSs). While the existing IBS model by…

It is expected that high energy gamma-rays, if injected relatively close to the massive stars in binary systems LS 5039 and LSI 61 3003, should be strongly absorbed, initiating inverse Compton $e^\pm$ pair cascades in the anisotropic…

Gamma-ray binaries are binary systems where the energy flux peaks in the gamma-ray energy band. They harbour a compact object (a neutron star or a black hole) orbiting around a massive star that provides a strong radiation field. It is…

The detection of TeV gamma-rays from LS 5039 and the binary pulsar PSR B1259-63 by HESS, and from LS I +61 303 and the stellar-mass black hole Cygnus X-1 by MAGIC, provides a clear evidence of very efficient acceleration of particles to…

The few known gamma-ray binary systems are all associated with variable radio and X-ray emission. The TeV source HESS J0632+057, apparently associated with the Be star MWC148, is plausibly a new member of this class. Following the…

In this paper we give the first attempt to model the evolution of the spectrum of PSR B1259$-$63 radio emission while the pulsar orbits the companion Be star. As suggested by Kijak et al. (Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 418:L114, 2011a) this…

Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a compact object orbiting a massive companion star. The interaction between these two objects can drive relativistic outflows, either jets or winds, in which particles can be accelerated to…

Several binary systems have been detected at High Energy (HE, E > 100 MeV) and/or Very High Energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. Some of them are X-ray binaries in which accretion feeds relativistic radio jets and powers the non-thermal…
