Abstract: According to ASM/RXTE data, a powerful outburst of a duration of about three months was detected from micro-quasar Cyg X-3 in 2007. The maximal emission intensity in the energy range from 1.5 to 12 keV was reached about 0.6 Crab. The analysis of the light curve for this period showed the presence of anticorrelation between X-ray intensity and hardness ratio. In the power spectrum of the source daily and semi-diurnal harmonics were found. The intensity are noticeably less than that for the 4.8-hour orbital harmonic.
