Most compact objects, in particular X-ray Binaries (XRBs) and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), are characterized by a X-ray emission leading to understand how emission properties scale with different observables like the mass, accretion rate, presence/absence of jets...
We perform various studies on the high energy emission of several galactic (XRBs) and extragalactic (AGN) compact objects. In particular, using the spectrometer SPI on board INTEGRAL, we detect for the first time an emission above 200 keV and even up to 350 keV for a neutron star binary, suggesting the presence of a non thermal emission similar to the one found for AGNs and Black Hole Candidates Binaries.
We discuss the hypothesis that both thermal (corona) and non thermal (jet or not) emission processes could be involved ubiquitously in the high energy emission of compact objects.
