Scientific paper

Low resolution IUE spectra of the accretion disk of the X-ray binary HZ Her/Her X-1 are presented. The UV flux contribution from the sub-giant companion HZ Her was predicted, using a model constrained by fits to B-magnitude photometry, and subtracted from the observed IUE spectra to leave accretion disk spectra. The observed disk UV fluxes are compared with those predicted by a simple model of the disk emission based on X-ray reprocessing.
