Abstract
The high-energy gamma-ray emission discovered using the H.E.S.S. telescopes from the binary system PSR B1259-63, is modelled using an extension of the approach that successfully predicted it. We nd that the simultaneous INTEGRAL and H.E.S.S. data permit both a model with dominant radiative losses, high pulsar wind Lorentz factor and modest ef ciency as well as one with dominant adiabatic losses, a slower wind and higher ef ciency. Additional, simultaneous, X-ray and TeV data sets are needed to lift this degeneracy.
