Description
Microquasars are X-ray binaries with relativistic jets, believed to be driven by accretion. Non-thermal processes are known to be very relevant in these sources as shown by observations in different energy bands from several micro-quasars. While the first claims of gamma-ray emission from micro-quasars in the 1980s were not later confirmed and casted serious doubts about the capability of ground based gamma-ray astronomy, micro-quasars are nowadays established sources of gamma-rays at HE, VHE and UHE. Here we discuss the observations of micro-quasars in these energy bands and the physics behind this emission.
