Comparison of the best-fit model X-ray spectra to observations. The model was calculated using reduced mass-loss rates (ψ = 0.13; Ṁ₁ = 6.5 × 10^-7 M_⊙ yr^-1 and Ṁ₂ = 7.5 × 10^-7 M_⊙ yr^-1) and τ_e−i = 0.1. The observed X-ray spectra at φ = 0.803, 0.901, and 1.118 were acquired with Swift and the φ = 0.997 spectrum was acquired with XMM-Newton (Nazé et al. 2012b). (The observed spectra correspond to the fits with “one temperature fixed” presented by Nazé et al.2012b.) Orbital phases of the observations (φ) are noted in the plots.
