A model in which a neutron star in an eccentric inclined orbit around a Be star passes through a ring of matter around the Be star has been used to explain the recurrent flares of X-ray emission from these systems. The optical emission during X-ray flares is due to partial absorption and reprocessing of the X-rays in the ring.
