dc.descriptionThree binaries are now established sources of emission at very high energies (>1e11 eV). They are composed of a massive star and a compact object. The emission can be due to the interaction of the relativistic wind from a young ms pulsar with the stellar wind of the companion, by which rotation-power ends up as non-thermal flux. Variations at VHE energies are explained as due to gamma-gamma absorption and/or changes in shock location along the orbit. Resolved radio emission is due to cooling particles trailing the pulsar.
