Scientific paper

Although the free precession of a neutron star has been put forward as the cause of long-period variations in some X-ray pulsar emissions, no corroborating evidence has been found. The recent observation of a pulsar in Cygnus X-3, a system with a well measured long-period variation, provides an opportunity to examine the possibility of free precession. The properties of the pulsar which have been observed so far are consistent with the neutron star having a small free precession amplitude.
