Scientific paper

Her X-1 was observed for 104 hr of good conditions in a search for TeV-range gamma rays, in 1986 May - July, at the Haleakala Gamma Observatory. On May 13 a burst of activity of approximately 15 minutes duration was detected, with a period of 1.23593±0.00018 s. Although this period differs significantly from the pulsar period expected from X-ray observations, it is consistent with measurements of the periodicity of VHE and UHE gamma rays by other observers that summer.
