Scientific paper

The authors discuss a corotating jet model for the high-energy γ-ray emission of accreting pulsars, which explains the pulse, orbital, and longer time scale behavior reported in the TeV and PeV ranges for Her X-1, 4U 0115+63, Vela X-1, and LMC X-4. This model is compatible with our present observational and theoretical understanding of the X-ray properties of these objects, and is based on the fact that accreting pulsars confirmed so far as high-energy sources appear to have a nearly corotating magnetosphere.
