For the space Rat(n) of all proper rational transfer functions g(s)\(\in R(s)\) with McMillan degree n, the closure problem for Rat(n) in the affine space E of finite \(N\times N\) Hankel matrices (n\(\leq N-1)\) is studied. The main result of the paper consists in proving that the closure \(\overline{Hank(n,N)}\) of Rat(n) in E is given by all Hankel matrices of rank less than or equal to n. This partial compactification differs from a corresponding result delivered by Deistler and Hannan because there exist boundary points which cannot be interpreted as linear systems of order \(<n.\) The last section of the paper deals with a related closure problem for partial realizations.
