چکیده
Jet models for the high-energy emission of Galactic X-ray binary sources have regained significant interest with detailed spectral and timing studies of the X-ray emission from microquasars, the recent detection by the HESS collaboration of very-high-energy $\gamma$-rays from the microquasar LS~5039, and the earlier suggestion of jet models for ultraluminous X-ray sources observed in many nearby galaxies. Here we study the synchrotron and Compton signatures of time-dependent electron injection and acceleration, and adiabatic and radiative cooling in the jets of Galactic microquasars. Abstract Jet models for the high-energy emission of Galactic X-ray binary sources have regained significant interest with detailed spectral and timing studies of the X-ray emission from microquasars, the recent detection by the HESS collaboration of very-high-energy γ-rays from the microquasar LS 5039, and the earlier suggestion of jet models for ultraluminous X-ray sources observed in many nearby galaxies.

متن کاملSynchrotron emission from secondary leptons in microquasar jets
We present a model to estimate the synchrotron radio emission generated in microquasar (MQ) jets due to secondary pairs created via decay of charged pions produced in proton-proton collisions between stellar wind ions and jet relativistic protons. Signatures of electrons/positrons are obtained from consistent particle energy distributions that take into account energy losses due to synchrotron ...

We show that comparison of the detailed calculations of the synchrotron radiation of expanding magnetized clouds (plasmoids) with the temporal and spectral evolution of radio flares observed from the recently discovered galactic " microquasar " GRS 1915+105 imposes strong constraints on the model parameters of relativistic plasmoids, in particular, on the absolute values and time-dependence of ...
متن کاملA Time-dependent Leptonic Model for Microquasar Jets: Application to Ls I 61 303
The Galactic high-mass X-ray binary and jet source (microquasar) LS I 61 303 has recently been detected at TeV g-ray energies by the MAGIC telescope. We have applied a time-dependent leptonic jet model to the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED), and we have suggested (although not unambiguously detected) an orbital modulation of the very high energy (VHE) g-ray emission of this source....
متن کاملModelling of the nonthermal flares in the galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105
The microquasars recently discovered in our Galaxy offer unique opportunity for a deep insight into the physical processes in relativistic jets observed in different source populations. We study the temporal and spectral evolution of the radio flares detected from the relativistic ejecta in the microquasar GRS 1915+105, and propose a model which suggests that these flares are due to synchrotron...
