Description
Measurements of the X-ray spectrum (1.85--7 keV) of A0620--00 obtained on 1975 October 17 and 1976 January 1--9 with the graphite crystal spectrometer on OSO-8 show a smooth continuum with an absence of emission lines. Upper limits are given for line emission from Si and S ions and are used to establish that the source is not optically thin. The results support a dense plasma model
