Detection of neutrinos from micro-quasars II

Considering a system composed of a compact object and a star surrounded by wind, and using models for high-energy proton emission from micro-quasars, we calculate the neutrino flux resulting from proton–proton collisions, with and without including neutrino oscillations. It is found that the flux of neutrinos from a windy micro-quasar is affected by neutrino oscillations, and that it reflects upon the increase in the time of observation, by a factor of the order 2–3.
