| Abstract: |
A VLBA image of the X-ray binary Cyg X-3 made two days after a 10 Jy radio flare shows a one-sided, curved jet with a size scale of ~60 mas. This seems to indicate a jet with a velocity of >= 0.89c with a inclination of a few degrees to the line of site, and indicates that some of events where Cyg X-3 flares above 3 Jy may come from highly relativistic jets close to the line of sight. |
