SOFT-X-RAY IMAGING OF THE TY PYX BINARY-SYSTEM .2. MODELING THE INTERCONNECTING LOOP-LIKE STRUCTURE

In this paper we present improved results of 3D deconvolution of the T Y Pyx LEIT light curve, taking into account the effect of 'halo' emiss ion. The results obtained indicate that the bulk of plasma is between the two stars. The spatial distribution of the emission suggests the p resence of the loop structure interconnecting the stars, as was argued in the previous paper by Siarkowski, Sylwester & Pres'. We have model led the physical conditions in this loop using the hydrostatic coronal loop model presented by Vesecky, Antiochos & Underwood. The brightnes s distribution along this interconnecting structure can be interpreted by loop models with 12 < T-max < 48 MK and Gamma > 15.
