Abstract
The optical behaviour of the Be star in the high mass X-ray transient A0535+26/ HDE245770 shows that at the periastron typically there is an enhancement in the luminosity of order 0.05 to few tenths mag, and the X- ray outburst happens about 8 days after the periastron. We construct a quantitative model of this event, basing on a nonstationary accretion disk behavior, connected with a high ellipticity of the orbital motion. We explain the observed time delay between the peaks of the optical and X-ray outbursts in this system by the time of radial motion of a matter in the accretion disk, after increase of the mass flux in the vicinity of a periastral point in the binary. This time is determined by the turbulent viscosity, with the parameter α = 0.1 – 0.3, estimated from the comparison of the model with observational data.
