Scientific paper

Observations of Cygnus X-3, an X-ray binary with an orbital period of 4.8 hr, are discussed, focusing on the emission of gamma-rays at TeV energies. The observations of Chadwick et al. (1985), which showed the existence of a pulsar in the Cyg X-3 system, emitting TeV gamma-rays with a periodicity of approximately 12.6 ms, are considered. Observations of the object during October-November 1986 are reported. During these observations, no pulsed emission of TeV gamma-rays was detected in the range of periods from 12.5850 to 12.5967 ms.
