Title:Be X-ray binaries and their high and very high energy emission
Abstract:In this talk i propose to focus on those Be X-ray binaries that have been found at high and very high energy energies, as observed by the Fermi satellite and the Cerenkov telescopes. Depending on the time available, i could either provide a review on the recent observations and theoretical ideas on such sources or focus on some of the recent results of our campaigns (done with Fermi, RXTE, INTEGRAL, Chandra -- as well as the currently solicited observations on XMM and Swift, if approved). In December 2010, PSR B1259-63 will pass again through periastron, and we are working on a MW campaign to cover it. In all cases, the context of these observations with the most recent Fermi data will be provided.
