Schematic geometrical model of Her X-1/HZ Her used to calculate the X-ray orbital light curve. The model includes the Roche-lobe filling star (to the left), a hot corona above its X-ray-illuminated part (in orange), the accretion disk around the neutron star (to the right), and a hot halo above the accretion disk (disk corona, in yellow). Also shown is the accretion disk shadow on the illuminated part of HZ Her.
