The SS433 system ejects two relativistic jets with a velocity of 0.26c. The two jets are in opposite directions, precessing with a period of 160 days. The system is assumed to include a compact object which rotates around a normal star with a period of 13 days. There are strong indications for the presence of an accretion disk around the compact object. Based on study of a photometric light curve obtained during 3 years of observations, the authors suggest that the compact object might be a black hole.
