PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 is a gamma-ray binary system containing a radio pulsar in a highly elliptical ~3.4-year orbit around a Be star. In its 2010 periastron passage, multiwavelength emission from radio to TeV was observed, as well as an unexpected GeV flare measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Here, we report the results of LAT monitoring of PSR B1259-63 during its most recent 2014 periastron passage. We compare the gamma-ray behavior in this periastron with the former in 2010 and find that PSR B1259-63 shows a recurrent GeV flare. The similarities and differences in the phenomenology of both periastron passages are discussed.

  1. Fermi-LAT and FAST observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057

    astro-ph.HE 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Fermi-LAT data spanning 15 years yield a power-law GeV spectrum for HESS J0632+057 with a possible 10-100 GeV turnover, and FAST observations set a 2 microJy upper limit on radio pulsations from the system.
