Optical study of the X-ray binary Hercules X-1

Abstract

The 1.7 day B-V light curve of HZ Herculis shows the existence of a small hot component which is present only during the X-ray active portion of the 35-day cycle. This hot component is associated with the X-ray source since it is absent during X-ray eclipse.
