Abstract
We show that the jet power P_j and geometrically corrected \gamma-ray luminosity L_\gamma for the X-ray binaries (XRBs) Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-3, and V404 Cygni, and \gamma-ray upper limits for GRS 1915+105 and GX339-4, follow the universal scaling for the energetics of relativistic jets from black hole (BH) systems found by Nemmen et al. (2012) for blazars and GRBs. The observed peak \gamma-ray luminosity for XRBs is geometrically corrected; and the minimum jet power is estimated from the peak flux density of radio flares and the flare rise time. The L_\gamma-P_j correlation holds across \sim 17 orders of magnitude. The correlation suggests a jet origin for the high energy emission from X-ray binaries, and indicates a common mechanism or efficiency for the high energy emission 0.1-100 GeV from all relativistic BH systems.
