EXTENDED Hard X-ray spectrum independent CORONA of the precessional phase 20 All INTEGRAL observations 21 Precessional variability Strong precessional 162-d variability was found with a maximum to minimum flux ratio of ~7 Flux at primary minima is nonzero: ~ 3 mCrab, suggesting extended hard X-ray emitting region 22 Analysis of hard X-ray spectra To increase statistical significance, we splitted the precessional light curve on two parts: “high” (maximum Xrya flux) and “low” (<10 mCrab). Both are consistent with power law. 23 T3 Average precessional light curve with AO5 data added 24 II(1.025<Ψprec <1.125 & 0.875<Ψprec <0.975) I (0.975<Ψprec <1.025) III (0.5<Ψprec <0.8 & 1.2<Ψprec <1.5) 20-200 keV spectra (IBIS/ISGRI). Power-law photon index Γ=2.8 for all spectra! 25 Orbital eclipses primary max. Several orbital eclispses were observed at different precessional phases crossover I Second. max. crossover II 26 Individual eclipses at T3 IBIS/ISGRI 18-60 keV 27 Mass ratio from hard X-ray eclipses In the standard X-ray range 1-10 keV: q~0.1-0.15 (Kawai et al. 1989, Kotani et al. 1996); due to a very wide X-ray eclipse In the hard X-ray range (18-60 keV) the eclipse form and width are very variable. 28 Egress from the primary eclipse is extremely variable (presumably due to gaseous streams from ther star and stellar wind from the disk) Ingress to the primary eclipse is much more stable Interpretation of the primary eclipse by geometrical model should be based on the upper envelope of the eclipse ingress 30 Fitting of the primary eclipse (ingress) together with precessional light curve yields q=0.3, in agreeement with optical spectroscopic determination by Hillwig & Gies 31 Model for variability • The optical star fills it Roche lobe • The accretion disk is approximated by an oblate spheroid • X-ray flux is emitted by the hot “corona” around the base of the narrow relativistic jets • The “corona” is approximated by the spheroid and precesses along with disk • The “corona” is placed inside the “funnel” at the inner parts of the disk • During the orbital and precessional moving the “corona” is eclipsed by the star and disk bodies 32 Results for q=0.1: Good fit to eclipse, bad fit to precessional variability In principle, long thick X-ray jet yields a good fit to the orbital eclipse, but totally fails to describe the precessional light curve! Joint analysis is needed. 33 Joint analysis of orbital eclipses (ingress only) and precessional variability: q=0.3 34 Orbital + precessional chi-2 for different q Mv<15 M Sum of the reduced orbital and precessional chi-2 35 Monte-Carlo analysis of broadband (2-100 keV) Xray spectrum and parameters of hard X-ray corona JEMX+IBIS May 2003 (Krivosheev et al. 2008) Corona: kTc~20 keV Rc~6x1011cm τc~ 0.2-03 ne~ 4x1012cm-3 Jet: dM/dt~ 10-7 M /yr Lkin~1039 erg/s 36 Conclusions Our correct analysis of hard X-ray eclipses and precessional variability in SS433 allowed independent determination of the binary mass ratio q=Mx/Mv=0.3, in full agreement with optical spectroscopic result by Hillwig & Gies (2008). The compact object mass is Mx=5.3 M , Mv=17.7 M confirming its nature as a black hole 37 INTEGRAL orbital and precessional light curves of SS433 can be interpreted by an extended corona above the superaccreting disk around the black hole. Thin relativistic jets shining in soft X-rays are generated from the center of the corona that is observed in hard X-rays 38
