Scientific paper

An X-ray source detected near Cen X-3 during observations conducted by the satellite Ariel V was monitored over a period of 39 days. Measurements are presented of the light curve, the spectrum, and the variability characteristics of the source. The significance of the obtained data is discussed. If the 6.755-min period determined is attributable to orbital motion of a binary system, the system must be appreciably more compact than the Cyg X-3 system. In this new source, Ariel 1118-61, both objects must be compact.
