Abstract
Observations of the Cygnus X-3 outburst have been made with interferometers operating at 408 MHz at Jodrell Bank. The data are consistent with a model in which the source has a true angular diameter of ∼0.1 arc s which is increased to the apparent value by interstellar scattering. The true size of the source is thus ∼2 light day at ∼4 kpc.
