Scientific paper

The compact central component of Cygnus A was observed at 8.5-mm wavelength with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. The flux was found to be about 1.8 Jy. Including the spectral information already known, a flat or slightly increasing spectrum can be derived in the range from 5 GHz up to 35 GHz. If the measured radiation is interpreted as synchrotron emission, high values of the magnetic field strength and the (relativistic) electron density are needed.
