Scientific paper

X-ray time series data from the 4.8-second binary pulsar Cen X-3 observed by Ginga were analyzed. We studied the fractal dimension of the X-ray intensity of the total 1.7-337 keV energy band. The fractal dimension of the temporal behavior on time scales greater than or equal to 4.8 is comparatively large (less than or equal to 7). This implies that the variability of this source is characterized by perturbations having a small size compared with the system scale. The existence of a lower dimensional (large-scale) motion with a time scale of 500 s is suggested.
