Description: Hercules X-1 is a well known bright binary X ray pulsator. It has a 1.70 day orbital period, a pulsation period of 1.24 second, and a 35 day semiperiodic variability. The discovery is reported of a new 144 second periodicity in the X ray emission from Her X-1. The periodicity is seen in X ray observations of Her X-1 by the LAC instrument onboard the Ginga satellite during Aug. to Sep. 1988. The periodic flux variations occur during the time of X ray turnon at the beginning of a high state of Her X-1, in the same time that a pre-eclipse dip also occurs. An analysis of the LAC spectra of Her X-1 during this period is also presented. Large changes in spectral shape occur associated with the dip.
