Scientific paper

WE report here the results of extensive observations of a new series of outbursts from Cyg X-3 which we commenced following the recent IAU telegram alert from Sir Martin Ryle. A high degree of linear polarisation has been discovered in one of the recent outbursts. The degree of polarisation changes over a period of 17 d and reaches a maximum of 14%. The observations indicate a high degree of order in the source magnetic field and that a thermal plasma coexists with the radiating relativistic electrons. In addition, a new upper limit of 0.05'' has been obtained for the angular size of Cyg X-3, together with an improved position for the source.
