| Popis: | We solve the cosmic-ray diffusion around a Galactic black hole binary (microquasars) by considering the finite size of the escape region and the continuous cosmic-ray injection. We find that the energy spectrum of escaping cosmic rays in the gamma-ray emission region is described by a broken power law spectrum with one or two spectral breaks even though the total spectrum of escaping cosmic rays is a single power law spectrum. Using the solution for the diffusion equation, we construct a unified picture that explains spatially extended very-high-energy gamma rays from five microquasars observed by HAWC and LHAASO. In the unified picture, all five microquasars have the same energy spectrum of the escaping CRs, $dN/dE \propto E^{-2}$, the same diffusion coefficient, and the same emission region. The hard energy spectrum without the high-energy cutoff supports the idea that the origin of Galactic CRs beyond PeV energies is Galactic black hole binaries. Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures |
