AGNs and microquasars as high energy gamma-ray sources
arXiv:astro-ph/0412057 · doi:10.1007/s10509-005-1177-8
Abstract
The extragalactic analogs of the microquasars, the quasars, are strong gamma-ray emitters at GeV energies. It is expected that microquasars are also gamma-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 gamma-ray sources.
