Abstract
Observations are reported of Hercules X-1 in the energy range 13-180 keV which covered two complete 35d cycles of high and low states of the X-ray intensity during 1978. Three high ON states and two low ON states were observed. Features resembling absorption dips were observed in the two high ON states and one low ON state in which good quality data were available. The results are interpreted in the context of precessing tilted accretion disk-periodic mass transfer models. Since the line of sight to Her X-1 lies nearer the plane of the disk rim during low ON states than during high ON states, the observed X-ray intensity during low ON states may be more susceptible to changes in the disk structure.
