SUMMARY:The nature of gamma-ray binaries
DESCRIPTION:The nature of gamma-ray binaries\nDr. Alicia López Oramas\n\nT
 he improvement on the Imaging Air Cherenkov Technique led to the discovery
  of a new class of compact binaries: the gamma-ray binaries. This small cl
 ass consist  of only five members, all of them composed by a massive 
 star and a compact object. The nature of the compact object is unknown for
  all of them but PSR B1259-63, which contains a pulsar. It is crucial to s
 tudy and monitor these systems not only to understand their behavior, the 
 scenario accounting for the gamma-ray emission and their nature but also t
 o comprehend why we have not detected more sources of this exclusive famil
 y. In this presentation, I will review the state-of-the-art of this field 
 and I will present the observations performed with the MAGIC telescopes in
  order to unveil the nature of gamma-ray binaries.
