Gamma-ray emitting binaries (GREBs) are complex systems. Its study became in
the last years a major endeavour for the high-energy astrophysics community,
both from an observational and a theoretical perspective. Whereas the
accumulation of observation time for most Galactic gamma-ray sources is
typically leading to highly accurate descriptions of their steady
phenomenology, GREBs keep providing “exceptions to the rule” either through
long-term monitoring of known systems or in the discovery of new sources of
this class. Moreover, many GREBs have been identified as powerful radio,
optical and X-ray emitters, and may significantly contribute as well to the
Galactic cosmic-ray sea. Their understanding implies, therefore, solving a
puzzle in a broad-band and multi-messenger context. In these proceedings we
will summarise our current understanding of GREBs, emphasising the most
relevant observational results and reviewing a number of controversial
properties.
