Scientific paper

The Haleakala Gamma Ray Telescope is designed to detect very high energy gamma rays by the atmospheric Cherenkov technique, with an energy threshold of approximately 300 GeV. During 1985, approximately 113 hours of observations were conducted on Cygnus X-3. These data were analyzed to search for pulsar-like periodicity and periodicity correlated with the 4.8 hour period seen in X-ray and infrared data. No periodic structure has been detected at any of the aforementioned timescales. Long-term averaging indicates gamma ray emission from Cygnus X-3 is present, and is 2.3% of the ambient cosmic ray background.
