Scientific paper

Variations in the flux density from Cyg X-3 are reported for the period October 1982 through March 1985 at 11 and 3.7 cm. Since 1972, Cyg X-3 has displayed 15 known large flaring events. Six of these events have taken place during the months of September and October. These radio flaring events are probably due to a variable accretion rate onto the collapsed star of the binary system. Based on this small sample of data, there is a possibility of a 120 day periodicity in these large flaring events. This may be due to the presence of a third body in the Cyg X-3 binary system which modulates the accretion rate. The recent spectacular event in September-October 1983 was also monitored at 6 cm.
