In this work, we investigate the electromagnetic energy released by astrophysical black holes within the Kerr-Taub-NUT solution, which describes rotating black holes with a nonvanishing gravitomagnetic charge. In our study, we consider the black holes in the X-ray binary systems GRS 1915+105, GRO J1655-40, XTE J1550-564, A0620-00, H1743-322, and GRS 1124-683. We show that the Kerr-Taub-NUT spacetime can explain the radiative efficiency of these sources inferred from the continuum fitting method (CFM). We also show that, in the framework of the Blandford-Znajeck mechanism, it is possible to reproduce the observed jet power. We unify the results of the two analyses for the selected objects to get more stringent constraints on the spacetime parameters. We show that, as in the case of the Kerr spacetime, the Kerr-Taub-NUT solution cannot simultaneously explain the observed jet power and radiative efficiency of GRS 1915+105.

    MOG regular rotating black holes are compatible with most X-ray binary data only for beta below about 0.38 to 0.4, and are excluded for the near-extremal source GRS 1915+105.
