Gamma-Ray Emission from Microquasars
M. M. Kaufman Bernado
Microquasars, X-ray binary systems that generate relativistic jets, were discovered in our Galaxy in the last decade of the XXth century. Their name indicates that they are manifes…
Unidentified gamma-ray sources off the Galactic plane as low-mass microquasars?
I. A. Grenier, M. M. Kaufman Bernado, G. E. Romero
A subset of the unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources with no active galactic nucleus or other conspicuous counterpart appears to be concentrated at medium latitudes. Their long-ter…
Unidentified Gamma-Ray Sources and Microquasars
G. E. Romero, I. A Grenier, M. M. Kaufman Bernado +2
Some phenomenological properties of the unidentified EGRET detections suggest that there are two distinct groups of galactic gamma-ray sources that might be associated with compact…
Hadronic gamma-ray emission from windy microquasars
Gustavo E. Romero, Diego F. Torres, M. M. Kaufman Bernado +1
The jets of microquasars with high-mass stellar companions are exposed to the dense matter field of the stellar wind. We present estimates of the gamma-ray emission expected from t…
High-Mass Microblazars Associated with Variable Gamma-Ray Sources?
M. M. Kaufman Bernado, G. E. Romero, I. F. Mirabel
A model to explain variable gamma-ray sources with high-mass microblazars is described. Inverse Compton interactions between the jet of a microquasar and the UV-photon field of the…
Variable gamma-ray emission from microblazars
M. M. Kaufman Bernado, G. E. Romero, I. F. Mirabel
We propose a model for gamma-ray emitting microblazars based on the Compton interaction of a relativistic electron-positron plasma, ejected in a jet feature, with the UV-photon fie…
