Correlation between the X-ray and TeV Gamma Ray Emission from an Accreting X-ray Binary

Measurements of the signal strength of TeV gamma rays from the accreting X-ray binary Cen X-3 show evidence for correlation with both the RXTE/ASM and the BATSE X-ray signal strengths. There are indications that the time scale for the variability of the gamma rays may be similar to that of X-rays and as short as a day. These features of the X-ray and TeV emission from an accreting binary show many similarities with the recently discovered high energy behaviour of X-ray selected BL Lacs.
