Recent MAGIC results on Galactic binaries

TL;DR

This paper reports recent very high-energy gamma-ray observations of Galactic X-ray binaries by MAGIC, providing multiwavelength data to enhance understanding of these systems' emission across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Contribution

It presents new MAGIC observations of specific Galactic binaries in the >100 GeV range, combining multiwavelength data for comprehensive source analysis.

Findings

Detection of very high-energy gamma rays from the sources.

Multiwavelength data supports source characterization.

Enhanced understanding of emission mechanisms in Galactic binaries.

Abstract

X-ray and gamma-ray binaries are systems consisting of a compact object and normally a non-degenerate companion star. Most of these sources have been shown to emit radiation in a broad frequency range, from radio up to X-rays and sometimes gamma rays. We report on recent results in very high-energy gamma rays above 100 GeV obtained by the MAGIC Collaboration for the Galactic X-ray binaries MAXI J1820+070 and 1A 0535+262, and the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057. Multiwavelength data at lower energies are also provided for a better contextualisation of the sources.
