Wolf-Rayet star clusters show a marginal spatial correlation with unidentified GeV gamma-ray sources, with 11 new cluster associations and 4 isolated WR stars identified as potential emitters from wind termination shocks.
Extended gamma-ray emission around Berkeley 59 is produced by cosmic rays accelerated in cluster winds colliding with ambient gas.
