SS433 X-ray continuum: Monte Carlo simulations
Abstract
SS433 is a peculiar massive X-ray binary system with precessing relativistic jets. It is a close binary system with an orbital period of 13.1 days. The uniqueness of this source comes from existence of narrow oppositely directed subrelativistic jets.
Here we shall concentrate on broad-band X-ray spectrum of SS433. In the last years the source was intensively observed by RXTE, XMM, Chandra and INTEGRAL. We have made use INTEGRAL observations of SS433 in May 2003 simultaneously by IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X telescopes.Our purpose is to model the observed broad-band X-ray continuum of SS433 using accurate treatment of emission processes in the jet and scattering hot corona above the accretion disk with the help of
the Monte Carlo method.
