Scientific paper

Cygnus X-3 is a peculiar X-ray source that despite its discovery already 40 years ago has eluded simple classification. This paper reviews results from recent studies of its X-ray behaviour in terms of its X-ray lightcurve, orbital modulation and spectral evolution. It seems likely that Cygnus X-3 indeed shows state transitions between a disc-dominated and a non disc-dominated state and that it may contain a massive black hole of ~30 Msolar.
