Scientific paper

Cygnus X-1 is visible for 7 ksec of each revolution in April-May 2004. We request 70 ksec to acquire 10 consecutive exposures of Cygnus X-1 during this window. We have an approved RXTE program for the sole purpose of observing simultaneously with our proposed XMM-Newton program, and we will make simultaneous radio observations with Ryle. We will constrain: the spin of the black hole via Fe K-alpha line spectroscopy, the nature of the companion wind, the validity of ADAF models for Cygnus X-1, the role of the jet in producing the hard flux and in the larger reflection geometry, and how parameters depend on the 5.6-day orbital period of Cygnus X-1.
