Abstract

Measurements of the 1·65- and 2·2-µ flux on five nights from October 3 to 31 and the 3–9 keV flux from October 7–December 1 of the transient X-ray source A 0620 – 00 show a regular decline. The infrared flux is consistent with an extrapolation of a bremsstrahlung spectrum fitted to the X-rays if the source is self-absorbed in the infrared, a situation similar to Sco X-1.
