Abstract
We propose a model to account for the non-thermal radiation due to the interaction of the jet termination shock of a microquasar (MQ) with its ambient interstellar medium (ISM). In this model, relativistic electrons and protons are accelerated simultaneously in the jet termination reverse shock. These particles then diffuse into the ISM from a region shocked by the reverse shock and interact with another region shocked by the forward shock, which can produce detectable photon fluxes at different energies. Using numerical calculation, we present various photon spectra for a general MQ produced via synchrotron, inverse Compton, synchrotron selfCompton, relativistic bremsstrahlung and π 0 -decay emissions. Finally, we apply this model to
