In this paper we study the high-energy neutrino emission from low-mass microquasars (LMMQs) by assuming that an acceleration region for particles is located in the inner jet, based on the framework of a hadronic jet model. Adopting the parametrized formulae for inelastic pp interactions and the recent pγ parametrizations, we calculate the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of various photon and neutrino spectra. Furthermore, we also consider the electromagnetic cascade processes due to γ γ absorption. We then apply the jet model to the microquasar (MQ) GX 339-4, and calculate the expected neutrino event rate for three years of observations using the newest effective area of the KM3NeT detector in the Mediterranean Sea. The resulting results indicate that (1) photon spectra can roughly reproduce observations from radio to X-ray energies, and can also predict emission fluxes at high and very high energies (VHE); (2) GX 339-4 is a potential neutrino source, neutrinos from which are likely to be identified with some years of observations from the next-generation km 3 -scale neutrino telescopes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
