Abstract

Cyg X-3 is an unusual X-ray binary which shows remarkable correlative behav ior between the hard X-ray, soft X-ray, and the radio. We present an analys is of these long term light curves in the context of spectral changes of th e system. This analysis also incorporates a set of pointed RXTE observation s made during a period when Cyg X-3 made a transition from a Baring state ( including a major Rare) to a quiescent radio state.
