Description

A0620-00 is the first of the so-called ''x-ray novae'' to be identified with an optical object. Emission in the ultraviolet, infrared and radio wavelength regions has also been observed from this source. From the observed properties of the optical radiation, it has been suggested that the source is a recurrent nova and indeed the IAU Circulars now refer to it as Nova Monocerotis 1975, but there are other possible interpretations. Both the ''Introductory'' and ''Summary'' remarks that were separately presented at the session on A0620-00 during the Symposium on X-Ray Binaries and some additional material are included
