We examine the long term (~10 years) gamma-ray variability of blazars observed by EGRET and Fermi and find that for six sources the average flux varied by more than an order of magnitude. For two of these sources (PKS 0208-512 and PKS…

Abstract The microquasar SS 433 exhibits in H alpha intermittent flares, Doppler shifted to both the red and the blue. The mean remembers the orbital phase of the compact object. I show that the flares are not intermittent sightings of an…

The possible association between the microquasar LS 5039 and the EGRET source 3EG J1824-1514 suggests that microquasars could also be sources of high energy gamma-rays. In this paper, we explore, with a detailed numerical model, if this…
