Scientific paper

Data from the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CAO) and other facilities on the ultrahigh-energy (E greater than or equal to 2 x 10 to the 12th eV) gamma rays coming from the direction of the Cyg X-3 source are analyzed. Histograms are presented for the gamma-ray signal/noise ratio as a function of phase of candidate 328- and 19.58-day variability periods. Good agreement between CAO and T'ien Shan station data confirms the presence of a cycle in the ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray flux with a period of 19.58 + or - 0.02 days.
