M. V. ; Tarafdar, S. P. Abstract The X-ray Be star object A0538-66 in the LMC is a binary with a neutron star emitting X-rays in flares when active. It is shown that the enhanced continuum and line emission in the optical and ultraviolet is from the ionized region formed by the X-rays in the gas ring around the Be star.
