Scientific paper

We have re-analyzed archival RXTE data of the X-ray binary Cygnus X-3 with a view to investigate the timing properties of the source. As compared to previous studies, we use an extensive sample of observations that include all the radio/X-ray spectral states that have been categorized in the source recently. In this study we identify two additional instances of Quasi-Periodic Oscillations that have centroid frequencies in the mHz regime. These events are all associated to a certain extent with major radio flaring, that in turn is associated with relativistic jet ejection events. We review briefly scenarios whereby the Quasi-Periodic Oscillations may arise.
