Abstract (from CDS):

Galactic black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 was discovered on 2005 June 30 by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope. We study the accretion flow properties during its very first outburst through careful analysis of the evolution of the spectral and the temporal properties using the two-component advective flow (TCAF) paradigm. RXTE proportional counter array spectra in 2.5–25 keV are fitted with the current version of the TCAF model fits file to estimate physical flow parameters, such as two-component (Keplerian disk and sub-Keplerian halo) accretion rates, properties of the Compton cloud, probable mass of the source, etc. The source is found to be in harder (hard and hard-intermediate) spectral states during the entire phase of the outburst with very significant jet activity. Since in the TCAF solution the model normalization is constant for any particular source, any requirement of significantly different normalization to have a better fit on certain days would point to an X-ray contribution from components not taken into account in the current TCAF model fits file. By subtracting the contribution using actual normalization, we derive the contribution of X-rays from the jets and outflows. We study its properties, such as its magnitude and spectra. We find that on some days, up to about 32% of X-ray flux is emitted from the base of the jet itself.
