Scientific paper

Low-noise Reticon spectra of HD 153919, which is identified with the X-ray source 3U 1700-37, do not show the 5303-A forbidden Fe XIV emission line previously reported by Dupree et al. (1977). The new spectra provides an upper limit to the central intensity of a forbidden Fe XIV line which is at least a factor of 6 below the intensity reported by Dupree et al. A variation in the forbidden Fe XIV emission-line flux could occur if the X-ray flux were variable on a time scale of years.
