Figure 4: Details of the instantaneous 511 keV photon flux induced by the jet (red curve) and the counterjet (blue curve) impacts on the secondary of a virtual XRB (see caption of Fig. 3). a) The jet direction is parallel to the observer direction and only the hotspot induced by the first jet is visible; b) the jet direction is perpendicular to the observer direction and both hotspots induced by the jet and the counterjet are visible. The geometrical configurations of the jets and the binary system in these two cases are shown in Fig. 5. |

Figure 7: Spectra of the annihilation radiation emitted by GRO J1655-40. The parameters of the jets are identical to those of Fig. 3. We assumed that the 50% of positrons annihilates with the ionized component of the atmosphere and 50% with the neutral component. Case 1: total spectrum integrated over the precession period; case 2: spectrum integrated over one period at the date 100 days; case 3: spectrum integrated over one period at the date 200 days. |
