Using the large-area proportional counters on the Ginga satellite, the authors have observed Cygnus X-1 in its low state, and complex cross-spectrum analysis of the data reveals that the delay of the high-energy X-rays with respect to the low increases from approximately 2 ms to several seconds for periods from 0.1 to 300 s. This is inconsistent with the inverse Compton scattering model of Cygnus X-1.
