# Extending the "Energetic Scaling of Relativistic Jets From Black Hole Systems" to Include $\gamma$-ray-loud X-ray Binaries

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that the jet power and gamma-ray luminosity in X-ray binaries follow a universal scaling relation observed in other black hole systems, implying a common high-energy emission mechanism.

## Contribution

It extends the energetic scaling law of relativistic jets to include gamma-ray-loud X-ray binaries, showing a universal relation across diverse black hole systems.

## Key findings

- Jet power and gamma-ray luminosity follow the universal scaling across 17 orders of magnitude.
- High-energy emission in X-ray binaries likely has a jet origin.
- A common efficiency or mechanism for gamma-ray emission in black hole systems is suggested.

## Abstract

We show that the jet power $P_j$ and geometrically corrected $\gamma$-ray luminosity $L_\gamma$ for the X-ray binaries (XRBs) Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-3, and V404 Cygni, and $\gamma$-ray upper limits for GRS 1915+105 and GX339-4, follow the universal scaling for the energetics of relativistic jets from black hole (BH) systems found by Nemmen et al. (2012) for blazars and GRBs. The observed peak $\gamma$-ray luminosity for XRBs is geometrically corrected; and the minimum jet power is estimated from the peak flux density of radio flares and the flare rise time. The $L_\gamma-P_j$ correlation holds across $\sim 17$ orders of magnitude. The correlation suggests a jet origin for the high energy emission from X-ray binaries, and indicates a common mechanism or efficiency for the high energy emission 0.1-100 GeV from all relativistic BH systems.
