Radio Observations of Cygnus X-3 and the Surrounding Region

Nature Physical Science volume 239, pages 128–130 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

ON September 7, 1972, Cygnus X-3 was observed with the Goldstone 64-m antenna at wavelengths of 13.1 cm, 3.55 cm, and 1.95 cm. At 13.1 cm a map of received flux density has been constructed for a region 0.5×0.6 arc degree with a resolution of 8.15 arc min. This map reveals the presence of several partially resolved features having integrated flux densities in excess of one flux unit (Fig. 1).
