INTEGRAL Observations of SS433: Analysis of Precessional and Orbital X-ray Periodicities

Abstract

Hard X-ray INT observations of SS 433 carried out during 2003-2005 years with an analysis of precessional and orbital variability is presented. The width of X-ray eclipse in the 25-50 keV range at the precessional phase =0.1 (accretion disk is open to observer) is higher than that in the Ginga 18.4-27.6 keV range. This fact suggests existance the presence of hot extended corona around the supercritical accretion disk. Spectrum of hard X-rays in the range 10-200 keV does not change with the precessional phase which also suggests that hard X-ray flux is generated in the hot extended corona around the accretion disk. The parameters of this hot corona are: kT=23-25 keV, τ = 1.8-2.8. Mass ratio estimated from the analysis of the ingress part of the eclipse light curve is in the range q=mx/mv=0.3-0.5.
