Radio Observations of Cygnus X-3

Abstract

Braes and Miley1, using the Westerbork synthesis array operating at 1,415 MHz, have detected a variable radio source associated with the X-ray source Cyg X-3. This letter reports observations of the radio counterpart of Cyg X-3 at 2,695 and 8,085 MHz with the NRAO interferometer at spacings of 2,400, 1,900 and 500 m.
