Scientific paper

The X-ray binary system AM Herculis has been observed with a balloon-borne telescope in the energy range 16-120 keV. The intensity in the 16-38-keV range is the same as measured by OSO 8 but drops sharply beyond this energy. For 38-80 keV a 2-sigma upper limit of 0.000017 photon/sq cm per sec/keV is found. When this is combined with the OSO 8 data for 2-60 keV, the total spectrum can be represented by a thermal bremsstrahlung law with kT of approximately 18 keV.
