Abstract
We develop a Monte Carlo technique based on L.B. Lucy's indivisible photon packets method to calculate X-ray continuum spectra of Comptonized thermal plasma in arbitrary geometry and apply it to describe the broad-band X-ray continuum of the galactic superaccreting microquasar SS433 observed by INTEGRAL. A physical model of the X-ray emitting region is proposed that includes thermal emission from the accretion disc, jets and hot corona where the photons of different origin are Comptonized. From comparison with INTEGRAL observations, we estimate physical parameters of the complex X-ray emitting region in SS433 and present model spectra for different viewing angles of the object.
