Abstract
We observed SS433 with the gas scintillation proportional counters on Tenma at phase 0.42 of the 164-day period and during the phase 0.23–0.31 of the 13-day binary period. The observed X-ray spectrum indicates an intense line with a central line energy of 6.7±0.1 keV. Our result is consistent with the EXOSAT discovery of blueshifted iron K X-ray line emission.Keywords
