Galactic Stellar Black Hole Binaries: Spin Effects on Jet Emissions of High-Energy Gamma-Rays

In the last few decades, galactic stellar black hole X-ray binary systems (BHXRBs) have aroused intense observational and theoretical research efforts specifically focusing on their multi-messenger emissions (radio waves, X-rays, γ-rays, neutrinos, etc.). In this work, we investigate jet emissions of high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays created through several hadronic and leptonic processes taking place within the jets. We pay special attention to the effect of the black hole’s spin (Kerr black holes) on the differential fluxes of photons originating from synchrotron emission and inverse Compton scattering and specifically on their absorption due to the accretion disk’s black-body radiation. The black hole’s spin (dimensionless spin parameter a*) enters into the calculations through the radius of the innermost circular orbit around the black hole, the RISCO parameter, assumed to be the inner radius of the accretion disk, which determines its optical depth τdisk. In our results, the differential photon fluxes after the absorption effect are depicted as a function of the photon energy in the range 1GeV ≤E≤103GeV. It is worth noting that when the black holes’ spin (α*) increases, the differential photon flux becomes significantly lower.
