Description
Gamma-ray binaries, whose spectral energy distribution peaks above 1 MeV, are rare objects thought to be composed of a pulsar in orbit around a massive star. How many gamma-ray binaries are there in the Galaxy ? What are the prospects for detecting them ? We have carried out mock gamma-ray surveys of synthetic populations of gamma-ray binaries to answer these questions.
