Description
A recent analysis of COMPTEL data has revealed the existence of an unidentified and variable gamma-ray source, designated GRO J1411-64, at MeV energies in the galactic plane (Zhang et al. 2002). We discuss the possibility that such a source can be produced in the accreting neutron star system 2S 1417-624 through the bombardment of the accretion disk by relativistic protons accelerated in the magnetosphere by the Cheng-Ruderman mechanism.
