After initial claims and a long hiatus, it is now established that several binary stars emit high-
(0.1–100 GeV) and very high-energy (> 100 GeV) gamma rays. A new class has emerged …

This book summarizes the science to be carried out by the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope
Array, a major ground-based gamma-ray observatory that will be constructed over the next …

More than a dozen binary systems are now established as sources of variable, high-energy
(HE, 0.1–100 GeV) gamma rays. Five are also established sources of very-high-energy …

Aims. The binary system η Carinae has completed its first 5.54 y orbit since the beginning of
science operation of the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). We are now able to investigate …

Aims. Despite recent progress in the field, there are still many open questions regarding γ-
ray binaries. In this paper we provide an overview of non-transient γ-ray binaries and …

Gamma-ray emitting binaries (GREBs) are complex systems. Its study became in the last
years a major endeavour for the high-energy astrophysics community, both from an …

Aims. Colliding wind binary systems have long been suspected to be high-energy (HE; 100
MeV< E< 100 GeV) γ-ray emitters. η Car is the most prominent member of this object class …

The binary system η Carinae is a unique laboratory that facilitates the study of particle
acceleration to high energies under a wide range of conditions, including extremely high …

Context. The η Carinae binary system hosts one of the most massive stars, which features
the highest known mass-loss rate. This dense wind encounters the much faster wind …
