Galactic Microquasar and Supernova Remnants Imprinting on Diffuse Neutrino and Gamma-Ray Sky
Shiqi Yu, Bing Theodore Zhang
Abstract
Recent detections of Galactic diffuse neutrinos by IceCube and γ-rays by LHAASO offer direct probes into the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. Conventional diffuse templates typically assume a single cosmic-ray injection spectrum across a wide energy range, without accounting for independent contributions from distinct accelerator populations. Here, we present a numerical framework that models Galactic diffuse neutrino and γ-ray emission that incorporates contributions from both microquasar and supernova remnant populations. By anchoring CR injection to local observations and utilizing high-resolution 3D target gas distributions, our model suggests multi-population contributions to the diffuse sky: escaped cosmic rays from supernova remnants dominate below 10 TeV, while those from microquasars become the primary driver at higher energies. Our predicted neutrino flux agrees well with the recent 12-year IceCube measurements, establishing a physically motivated baseline for the diffuse hadronic background while leaving room for unresolved point-like sources. This flexible framework provides testable predictions for current and future multi-messenger observatories, accommodating diverse accelerator populations and updated observational constraints.
