Scientific paper

The EXOSAT observations of the binary neutron star Her X-1 are summarized. One of the primary aims of the observations was to study systematically the variations of the observable parameters throughout the 35-day cycle of Her X-1. Evidence deduced from the EXOSAT observations of the pulse shape variations throughout the 35-day cycle that supports the neutron star precession models is summarized. The EXOSAT data regarding the behavior of the reprocessing regions throughout the 35-day cycle, and the ensuing models are reviewed. Implications of the EXOSAT measurements of the eclipse egresses with regard to the accretion disk and HZ-Her, the binary companion, are discussed.
