Abstract

The extragalactic analogs of the microquasars, the quasars, are strong γ-ray emitters at GeV energies. It is expected that microquasars are also γ-ray sources, because of the analogy with quasars and because theoretical models predict the high-energy emission. There are two microquasars that appear as the possible counterparts for two unidentified high-energy γ-ray sources.
