Scientific paper

X-ray emission from Her X-1 has been observed during the 23-day low state of the 35-day cycle. During this time, all the activity normally present during the high state was seen, including regular eclipses, absorption 'dips,' and 1.24-s pulsations. The present observations are compared with the models of Her X-1 derived by Roberts (1974), Gerend and Boynton (1976), Katz (1973), and Petterson (1975). It is suggested that a hot optically thin corona along both faces of the accretion disk can produce the unpulsed component of emission observed during both the high- and low-intensity states.
