Opacity effects and shock-in-jet modelling of low-level activity in Cygnus X-3

Opacity effects and shock-in-jet modelling of low-level activity in Cygnus X-3

We present simultaneous dual-frequency radio observations of Cygnus X-3 during a phase of low-level activity. We constrain the minimum variability time-scale to be 20min at 43GHz and 30min at 15GHz, implying source sizes of 2-4au. We detect polarized emission at a level of a few per cent at 43GHz wh...
