Scientific paper

The binary system Cygnus X-3 is a source of high energy γ rays (>1015eV), and the existence of quiescent radio emission from this system is suggestive of a strong magnetic field extending well beyond the binary orbit. The authors show here that the high-energy γ rays traversing this field could be attenuated by magnetic pair production process, resulting in the rather sharp steepening of the γ-ray spectrum beyond about 1016eV.
