The supercritical accretor, high-mass X-ray binary, SS433 is in the very intense radio flare just in the first day of new monitoring set with the RATAN-600 radio telescope (SAO RAS). 28 October 2008 (MJD 54767.58) the measurements at 1-22 GHz show the power law spectrum:
S_nu[Jy]=2.9nu^(-0.5)[GHz]. Probably that is the highest state spectrum from December 2007 (Trushkin et al. 2008, astro-ph:0810.3376) and by almost three times higher than in a quiet state of SS433.
The RXTE/ASM weather map
(http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/xte_weather/xte_lc.pl?source=SS433&action=display datan=display data)
show relatively bright single X-ray event at level: 5.95+/-0.99 counts/sec/SSC at MJD 54767.456.
We will continue to monitor the source daily.
