Abstract

Low-resolution IUE spectra of the massive X-ray binaries LMC X-4 and SMC X-1 have been obtained at both short and long wavelengths. The continua are consistent with expected early-type model atmosphere fluxes showing small amounts of reddening and exhibit the characteristic double-wave light curves seen at visible wavelengths.
