Description

In the last 20 years, very-high energy gamma rays have been detected in different types of binary systems, including gamma-ray binaries, X-ray binaries, colliding-wind binaries and novae. Owing to the nature of the two components in these binaries, different scenarios have been considered for particle acceleration, gamma-ray emission and absorption processes. In this talk I will review our current knowledge and understanding of gamma-ray emitting binaries, with a special focus on recent results and on gamma-ray binaries.
