The Periodic X-Ray Transient A0538-66 and its Optical Counterpart
Abstract
The long term light curve of the optical counterpart of A0538-66 is discussed, and a revised estimate for the period obtained. Observations of the optical spectrum during outburst and preliminary results from Einstein observations of two recent X-ray flares are presented.
