Scientific paper

A review is given of experimental and theoretical research on the galactic source Cyg X-3, whose electromagnetic spectrum extends from radio frequencies to ultrahigh-energy (Egamma is equal to about 10 to the 16th) gamma rays. Cyg X-3 also has a high X-ray luminosity 10 to the 38th and exhibits diversified sporadic and periodic variations, most notably occasional radio outbursts and a 4.8-h infrared, X-ray, and gamma-ray cycle. Analysis of the observations indicates that Cyg X-3 is a close binary system comprising a compact relativistic object (neutron star, black hole) and a dwarf companion losing mass. Particles are accelerated to 10 to the 16th eV within the system.
