摘要

We investigate an orbital X-ray modulation of the enigmatic X-ray binary, Cygnus X-3. It is a close binary system, composed of a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star and a compact star with a 4.8h orbital period. We determine a new precise orbital ephemeris and found that the orbital period is monotonically increasing with 1/2PP = (5.62 ± 0.09) × 10~(-11) day, over more than three decades from 1970s. The obtained period derivative is explained by an intense stellar wind from the WR star with ~ 10~(-6~-5) M_⊙ yr~(-1). This mass loss rate is a reasonable value as a Wolf-Rayet star. This thick wind exposed to intense X-rays should be photo-ionized. Observed rich emission lines come from this photo-ionized plasma as well as some narrow radiative recombination continuums (RRCs). We investigate an orbital modulation of the emissions lines and the RRCs. We found that the emission lines show a large equivalent width around phase 0.0 (phase 0.0 means the X-ray intensity minimum phase). However, the RRCs show different modulation pattern from that of the emission lines.
