Scientific paper

The black-hole candidate Cyg X-1 has been one of the first targets of the Sigma gamma-ray telescope on board the Soviet Granat spacecraft. Sigma, an imaging telescope based on the coded mask principle, operates in the 35 keV-1.3 MeV energy range and, when used in 'fast variability' mode, has a time resolution of one millisecond. This paper presents the preliminary results of a fast variability observation of Cyg X-1 performed in March 1990.
