In this work, at first we present a model of studying astrophysical flows of binary systems and microquasars based on the laws of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. Then, by solving the time independent transfer equation, we estimate the primary and secondary particle distributions within the hadronic astrophysical jets as well as the emissivities of high energy neutrinos and $gamma$-rays. One of our main goals is, by taking into consideration the various energy-losses of particles into the hadronic jets, to determine through the transport equation the respective particle distributions focusing on relativistic hadronic jets of binary systems. As a concrete example we examine the extragalactic binary system LMC X-1 located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way Galaxy.

We present the first results of extragalactic black hole X-ray binaries LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 using all the archival and legacy observations by AstroSat during the period of $2016-2020$. Broadband energy spectra ($0.5-20$ keV) of both sources obtained
from the SXT and LAXPC on-board AstroSat are characterized by strong thermal disc blackbody component ($kT_{in}sim1$keV, $f_{disc}>79%$) along with a steep power-law ($Gammasim2.4-3.2$). Bolometric luminosity of LMC X-1 varies from $7-10%$ of Eddington luminosity ($L_{Edd}$) and for LMC X-3 is in the range $7-13%$ of $L_{Edd}$. We study the long-term variation of the light curve using MAXI data and find the fractional variance to be $sim25%$ for LMC X-1 and $sim53%$ for LMC X-3. We examine the temporal properties of both sources and obtain fractional rms variability of PDS in the frequency range $0.002-10$ Hz to be $sim9%-17%$ for LMC X-1, and $sim7%-11%$ for LMC X-3. The `spectro-temporal properties indicate both sources are in thermally dominated soft state. By modelling the spectra with relativistic accretion disc model, we determine the mass of LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 in the range $7.64-10.00$ $M_{odot}$ and $5.35-6.22$ $M_{odot}$ respectively. We also constrain the spin of LMC X-1 to be in the range $0.82-0.92$ and that of LMC X-3 in $0.22-0.41$ with 90% confidence. We discuss the implications of our results in the context of accretion dynamics around the black hole binaries and compare it with the previous findings of both sources.
In an earlier paper, we presented the first evidence for a bow-shock nebula surrounding the X-ray binary LMC X-1 on a scale of ~15 pc, which we argued was powered by a jet associated with an accretion disk. We now present the first evidence for an io
nization cone extending from an X-ray binary, a phenomenon only seen to date in active galactic nuclei (AGN). The ionization cone, detected in the HeII4686/Hbeta and [OIII]5007/Hbeta line ratio maps, aligns with the direction of the jet inferred from the bow-shock nebula. The cone has an opening angle ~45 deg and radial extent ~3.8 pc. Since the HeII emission cannot be explained by the companion O star, the gas in the ionization cone must be exposed to the `naked accretion disk, thereby allowing us to place constraints on the unobservable ionizing spectrum. The energetics of the ionization cone give unambiguous evidence for an ultraviolet - soft X-ray (XUV) excess in LMC X-1. Any attempt to match the hard X-ray spectrum (>1keV) with a conventional model of the accretion disk fails to account for this XUV component. We propose two likely sources for the observed anisotropy: (1) obscuration by a dusty torus, or (2) a jet-blown hole in a surrounding envelope of circumstellar absorbing material. We discuss the implications of our discovery in the context of the mass-scaling hypothesis for accretion onto black holes and suggest avenues for future research.
We provide new observations of the LMC X-1 O star and its extended nebula structure using spectroscopic data from VLT/UVES as well as H$alpha$ imaging from the Wide Field Imager on the Max Planck Gesellschaft / European Southern Observatory 2.2m tele
scope and ATCA imaging of the 2.1 GHz radio continuum. This nebula is one of the few known to be energized by an X-ray binary. We use a new spectrum extraction technique that is superior to other methods to obtain both radial velocities and fluxes. This provides an updated spatial velocity of $simeq 21.0~pm~4.8$ km s$^{-1}$ for the O star. The slit encompasses both the photo-ionized and shock-ionized regions of the nebula. The imaging shows a clear arc-like structure reminiscent of a wind bow shock in between the ionization cone and shock-ionized nebula. The observed structure can be fit well by the parabolic shape of a wind bow shock. If an interpretation of a wind bow shock system is valid, we investigate the N159-O1 star cluster as a potential parent of the system, suggesting a progenitor mass of $sim 60$ M$_{odot}$ for the black hole. We further note that the radio emission could be non-thermal emission from the wind bow shock, or synchrotron emission associated with the jet inflated nebula. For both wind and jet-powered origins, this would represent one of the first radio detections of such a structure.
This paper reports the results of Suzaku observation of the spectral variation of the black hole binary LMCX-1 in the soft state. The observationwas carried out in 2009 from July 21 to 24. the obtained net count rate was $sim$30 counts s$^{-1}$ in th
e 0.5--50 keV band with $sim$10% peak-to-peak flux variation. The time-averaged X-ray spectrum cannot be described by a multi-color disk and single Compton component with its reflection, but requires additional Comptonized emissions. This double Compton component model allows a slightly larger inner radius of the multi-color disk, implying a lower spin parameter. Significant spectral evolution was observed above 8 keV along with a flux decrease on a timescale of $sim$10$^4$--10$^5$ s. By spectral fitting, we show that this behavior is well explained by changes in the hard Comptonized emission component in contrast to the maintained disk and soft Comptonized emission.
Recently, the $gamma$-ray emission at MeV and GeV energies from the object LMC P3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been discovered to be modulated with a 10.3-days period, making it the first extra-galactic $gamma$-ray binary. This work aims at the
detection of TeV $gamma$-ray and the search for modulation of the signal with the orbital period of the binary system. The H.E.S.S. data set has been folded with the known orbital period of the system in order to test for variability of the emission. Energy spectra are obtained for the orbit-averaged data set and for orbital phases in which the TeV flux is found at its maximum. TeV $gamma$-ray emission is detected with a statistical significance of 6.4,$sigma$. The data clearly show variability which is phase-locked to the orbital period of the system. Periodicity cannot be deduced from the H.E.S.S. data set alone. The orbit-averaged luminosity in the 1-10 TeV energy range is $(1.4 pm 0.2) times 10^{35},mathrm{erg,s}^{-1}$. A luminosity of $(5 pm 1) times 10^{35},mathrm{erg,s}^{-1}$ is reached during 20% of the orbit, when the MeV/GeV emission is at its minimum.
