Scientific paper

An evaluation of the nature of the X-ray source Cygnus X-1 depends on distance relations. The validity of distance estimates provided by Margon et al. (1973) and Bregman et al. (1973) is considered. It is concluded that the possibility of a determination of the distance of HDE 226868 to the required accuracy on the basis of reddening measurements appears unlikely. It is, therefore, thought to be premature to suggest that the X-ray source is a black hole.
