Scientific paper

It is suggested that the active particle-ejecting pulsar in the X-ray binary system Cygnus X-3 may be as old as 100,000 yr and that the nebula produced by the supernova explosion became very tenuous and, consequently, invisible over this period of time. The magnetic field at the neutron-star surface is estimated to be about 50 billion gauss, and a rotation period of approximately 0.004 sec is determined. These parameters are shown to provide a total emission intensity of about 3 by 10 to the 38th power erg/s for the system in the course of approximately 100,000 yr.
