Gamma-ray binaries

Abstract

Gamma-ray binaries are a subclass of high-mass binary systems whose energy spectrum peaks at high energies (E100 MeV) and extends to very high energies (E100 GeV) γ rays. In this review we summarize properties of well-studied non-transient γ-ray binaries as well as briefly discuss poorly known systems and transient systems hosting a microquasar. We discuss also theoretical models that have been used to describe spectral and timing characteristics of considered systems
