Scientific paper

RXTE has performed pointed observations of Cyg X-1 on 2010-06-19/20, 2010-07-04, and 2010-07-19/20. Following the AGILE detections (ATel #2512, #2715) and subsequent observations indicating a softening of the source (Atel #2711, #2714, #2721, #2724, #2734) ending a years long hard state (Nowak et al., POS MQW7, 2008), we performed spectral and timing analysis of these observations. The X-ray spectrum can be well described by the sum of an absorbed broken power law and a black body.
