Modeling The X-ray Spectra of the SS 433 Jets
Abstract
We fit Chandra HETGS spectra obtained for the unusual double-jet X-ray binary SS 433. The emission measure distribution derived from the spectrum can be used to test jet cooling models. New models of the differential emission measure distribution are developed within ISIS and fit to the data.
