Abstract
HERE we present results of observations at 8 GHz during the decay phase of the recent outburst of Cygnus X-3 (refs. 1 and 2). We also compare our results with the flux density variation observed with the Haystack 120-foot telescope at 15.5 GHz (ref. 3) and describe a possible model for the source.
