Variable Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from the Microquasar LS I +61 303
read the original abstract
Microquasars are binary star systems with relativistic radio-emitting jets. They are potential sources of cosmic rays and laboratories for elucidating the physics of relativistic jets. Here we report the detection of variable gamma-ray emission above 100 gigaelectron volts from the microquasar LS I +61 303. Six orbital cycles were recorded. Several detections occur at a similar orbital phase, suggesting the emission is periodic. The strongest gamma-ray emission is not observed when the two stars are closest to one another, implying a strong orbital modulation of the emission or the absorption processes.

Large-scale emission from gamma-ray binaries: the case of LS 5039
The arcminute X-ray emission around LS 5039 is consistently explained as synchrotron radiation from electrons accelerated at the termination shock of the mixed stellar/pulsar wind, with different source ages giving co...
