Abstract

We provided a comprehensive study of the properties of the black hole in the low-mass X-ray binary system 4U 1543-47, specifically focusing on the 2021 outburst (MJD 59380-59470). Using observations from the \textit{Insight}-HXMT mission, we employed X-ray reflection fitting method and analyzed spectral data to estimate key black hole parameters. Through our investigation redbased on 6 out of the 52 available observations, we estimated the spin parameter of the black hole to be 0.9020.053+0.0540.902_{-0.053}^{+0.054} and the inclination angle of the accretion disk to be 28.911.24+1.8228.91_{-1.24}^{+1.82} degrees (90\% confidence limits, statistical only), then we discussed the influence of high luminosity. Based on the \texttt{relxill} series models are not suitable for thick disk scenario, and in comparison with findings from other studies, we propose that our estimation of the spin value may be exaggerated.
