Gamma-ray binaries and related systems
G Dubus - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2013 - Springer
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 …

A catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy: from the INTEGRAL to the Gaia era
Context. High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy sources
that require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be properly characterised. New …

Compact binary merger rates: comparison with LIGO/Virgo upper limits
We compare evolutionary predictions of double compact object merger rate densities with
initial and forthcoming LIGO/Virgo upper limits. We find that:(i) Due to the cosmological …

Modulated high-energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar Cygnus X-3
Fermi LAT Collaboration, AA Abdo, M Ackermann… - Science, 2009 - science.org
Microquasars are accreting black holes or neutron stars in binary systems with associated
relativistic jets. Despite their frequent outburst activity, they have never been unambiguously …

The ocean and crust of a rapidly accreting neutron star: implications for magnetic field evolution and thermonuclear flashes
EF Brown, L Bildsten - The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the atmospheres, oceans, and crusts of neutron stars accreting at rates
sufficiently high (typically in excess of the local Eddington limit) to stabilize the burning of …

Cosmic rays from microquasars: A narrow component to the CR spectrum?
We propose that relativistic Galactic jets like those observed in GRS 1915+ 105 and GRO
