We present our studies of intrabinary shock emission for astrophysical binary systems with a neutron star. We construct a model for the shock emission and compare the model calculation with the light curve and the spectral energy distribution of the gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6-5856. The model assumes a slow and a fast population of particles accelerated in the shock, and computes the high-energy emission spectra and orbital light curves produced by synchrotron, self-Compton and external Compton processes of the high-energy particles in the shock. The model allows one to study plasma properties and to constrain the binary geometry, most importantly the inclination angle (i). We discuss potential use of this model for other pulsar binaries to determine the inclination angle of the binary hence the mass of the neutron star.
