Abstract

We show that the structure of magnetized accretion gas flows between the components of the Beta Lyrae system can cause a scattering gas shell that masks completely these components in soft X-ray region. Also we have calculated the inner structure of the donor that is filling a Roche lobe and is preceding a forming of the degenerate dwarf. We show that mass of the degenerate core of the donor is in region 0.3−0.5M⊙.
