Cygnus X-3: 3.3 mm Observations

Abstract

OBSERVATIONS of the early September 1972 flare of the radio counterpart of Cyg X-3 were made at 3.3 mm (90 GHz) with the 4.6-m antenna of the Aerospace Corporation. Observing and data reduction procedures identical to those described by Fogarty et al.1 yielded the 3.3 mm total fluxes (E-W linear polarization) given in Table 1.
