Abstract
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 relatively scarce observational data and the rich theoretical background. In this work, high-energy particle emission from simulated twin microquasar jets is calculated in a unified manner. From the cascade of emission within an element of jet matter to the dynamic and radiative whole jet model, the series of physical processes involved are integrated together. A programme suite assembled around model data produces synthetic images and spectra directly comparable to potential observations by contemporary arrays. The model is capable of describing a multitude of system geometries, incorporating increasing levels of realism depending on need and available computational resources. As an application, the modelling process is applied to a typical microquasar, which is synthetically observed from different angles using various imaging geometries. Furthermore, the resulting intensities are comparable to the sensitivity of existing detectors. The combined background emission from a potential distribution of microquasars is also modelled.
