Description: A model is proposed for the transient X-ray source A0620-00 involving a white dwarf accreting mass from a late-type subgiant companion. The transient behavior of the X-ray source is explained by the instability to mass loss of the companion (as in Algol-type binaries). The brightening, spectrum, and decay timescale of the optical counterpart are explained in terms of re-emission of X-radiation intercepted by the subgiant. A0620-00 should provide an excellent test case for numerical models of stellar atmospheres irradiated by an external X-ray flux.
