Infrared, Radio, and X-Ray Observations of Cygnus X-3
Abstract
Infrared observations of Cyg X-3 are presented along with X-ray and radio data. A study of the data shows evidence for several types of behavior in the infrared flux of Cyg X-3 including the dominate 0.2 day periodic variation. It is pointed out that when the periodic variations are not seen, it can be due to a real absence of these variations or to a masking by an outburst preceding the observation time. There is no simple radio-infrared correlation, although both radio and infrared emissions were active during the same period of time.
