Cherenkov Telescope results on gamma-ray binaries
Cortina, Juan
In the past ten years of regular operations, a new generation of Cherenkov telescopes have established binary systems as a new class of Very High Energy gamma-ray (VHE) emitters. Particle acceleration in these systems may occur either in an accretion-powered jet (microquasar) or in the shock between a pulsar wind and a stellar wind (wind-wind). Th…
Extended hard X-ray emission from Vela X
Renaud, Matthieu; Götz, Diego; Mattana, Fabio +5 more
Vela X powered by the Vela pulsar is the best example of an evolved pulsar wind nebula, allowing to access the particle injection history and the interaction with the supernova ejecta. We present the spectrum of Vela X in the 20-300 keV energy range as measured by IBIS/ISGRI and SPI, the main instruments onboard the INTEGRAL satellite. The apparen…
