Scientific paper

It is shown that the fast optical flares recently discovered in the Galactic X-ray source GX 339-4 are probably due to the cyclotron emission from hot gas at 10 to the 9th K. The inner accretion flow appears to be very similar to that in Cygnus X-1. Optical polarization may be detectable and further studies may help to study the metric close to the compact object.
