Abstract

ABSTRACT High-speed photometric observations of the HZ Her/Her X-1 system show that nonperiodic optical flickering is present during both the ON and OFF portions of the 35-day cycle. The optical flickering is broad band and not confined to emission lines. There is a weak correlation between the amplitude of the flickering and orbital phase but efforts to identify the source of the flickering were unsuccessful.
