If the jets of microquasars carry a significant power in the form of relativistic hadrons, then gamma rays and neutrinos can be produced by interactions with matter and photon fields either external or internal to the jet. In this paper I…
The hadronic jets in a micro-quasar stellar system are modelled with the relativistic hydrocode PLUTO. We focus on neutrino emission from such jets produced by fast proton (non-thermal) collisions on thermal ones within the hadronic jet. We…
We investigate the effects of magnetic fields on neutrino production in microquasars. We calculate the steady particle distributions for the pions and muons generated in p-gamma and p-p interactions in the jet taking the effects of all…
We show that high-energy neutrinos can be efficiently produced in X-ray binaries with relativistic jets and high-mass primary stars. We consider a system where the star presents a dense equatorial wind and the jet has a small content of…
We propose that neutrons may be generated in high-energy, high-flux photon environments via photo-induced reactions on pre-existing baryons. These photohadronic interactions are expected to occur in astrophysical jets and surrounding…
Unlike high-mass gamma-ray binaries, low-mass microquasars lack external sources of radiation and matter that could produce high-energy emission through interactions with relativistic particles. In this work we consider the synchrotron…
The origin of astrophysical neutrinos is one of the most debated topics today. Perhaps the most robust evidence of neutrino counterpart comes from supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei associated with strongly collimated…
The jets of microquasars with high-mass stellar companions are exposed to the dense matter field of the stellar wind. We present estimates of the gamma-ray emission expected from the jet-wind hadronic interaction and we discuss the…
Microquasar binary stellar systems emit electromagnetic radiation and high-energy particles over a broad energy spectrum. However, they are so far away that it is hard to observe their details. A simulation offers the link between…
We study the spectral energy distribution of gamma rays and neutrinos in the precessing microquasar SS433 as a result of pp interactions within its dark jets. Gamma-ray absorption due to interactions with matter of the extended disk and of…
Microquasars are accreting X-ray binary systems with non-thermal radio jets. In some of these systems the jet is expected to be strongly misaligned with the perpendicular to the orbital plane. If the donor star is an early-type star, the…
Massive stars have been associated with the production of high-energy neutrinos since the early claims of detection of very high-energy gamma rays from Cygnus X-3 in the 1970s and early 1980s. Although such claims are now discredited, many…
We present a model for high-energy emission in microquasars where the energy content of the jets is dominated by relativistic protons. We also include a primary leptonic component. Particles are accelerated up to relativistic energies in a…
We discuss the possibility that microquasar jets may be powerful emitters of TeV neutrinos. We estimate the neutrino fluxes produced by photopion production in the jets of a sample of identified microquasars and microquasar candidates, for…
Massive X-ray binaries are formed by a compact object that accretes matter from the stellar wind of an early-type donor star. In some of these systems, called microquasars, relativistic jets are launched from the surroundings of the compact…
Production of single neutrinos as well as neutrino-antineutrino pairs by photons interacting with pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons is studied within the Standard Model. The corresponding cross sections are found analytically. The energy loss…
We estimate the extragalactic muon neutrino background which is produced by hadrons injected by very young pulsars at an early phase after supernova explosion. It is assumed that hadrons are accelerated in the pulsar wind zone which is…
We show that cosmic-ray observations set a model-independent upper bound to the flux of high-energy, > 10^14 eV, neutrinos produced by photo-meson (or p-p) interactions in sources of size not much larger than the proton photo-meson (or pp)…
High energy neutrinos can be produced by interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the dense radiation fields of their sources as well as off the cosmic backgrounds when they propagate through the universe. Multi-messenger…
