Support for joint infrared and Copernicus X-Ray observations of Cygnus X-3
Abstract
Simultaneous X-ray and infrared measurements were carried out of the flares from Cygnus X-3 from the Copernicus spacecraft observatory. The detectors, InSb, were arranged so that 1.65 and 2.2 micrometer broadbend photometry was performed through a common diaphragm. The measurements were used to determine the energy distribution during a flare and thus learn about the infrared spectrum and its changes during the flare.
