In this work, we are testing the model of a spherically symmetric wind atmosphere of the donor star, previously identified as a B9 Ia supergiant. The model spectrum has shown good agreement with the observed one at a relatively high mass loss rate of $\\dot{M} \\approx 6\\times10^{-6}\\,M_{\\odot}\\,\\text{yr}^{-1}$; other parameters turned out to be close to those expected for late B-supergiants. The increased mass loss rate can be explained by the high rotation velocity of the star. In addition, we have qualitatively demonstrated the effect of X-ray irradiation on the observed spectrum and discuss the fundamental possibility of wind acceleration under conditions of powerful irradiation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-30T18:18:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "donor star", "emission spectrum", "relatively high mass loss rate", "x-ray source ngc", "b9 ia supergiant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
