Abstract

Cygnus X-1 was observed at 2.6 and 5.2 keV during a three-day period in November 1975 by the X-ray polarimeters on the OSO-8 satellite. At the 99% confidence level, the results are consistent with the source being unpolarized. Positive evidence for polarization at 2.6 keV was obtained at the 96% confidence level.
