Popis: We study the radiative decay properties of the charmoniumlike $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ mesons generated dynamically from vector-meson--vector-meson interaction in the framework of a unitarized hidden-gauge formalism. In the present work, we calculate the one- and two-photon decay widths of the hidden-charm $Y(3940)$, $Z(3930)$ [or $X(3915)$], and $X(4160)$ mesons in the framework of the vector-meson dominance formalism. We obtain good agreement with the experiment in case of the two-photon width of the $X(3915)$, which we associate to the ${2}^{+}$ resonance that we find at 3922 MeV. However, in view of discrepancies with a different approach that also considers the resonances as molecular states, we urge independent calculations along the same lines to further clarify the issue.
