Comments on the superluminal motion in Cygnus X-3
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Following the recent discovery that Cyg X-3 exhibits superluminal motion, the implications of superluminal expansion and contraction are investigated. We propose that the effect is due either to a propagating photon pattern or to outwardly moving shells illuminated by an intense beam of radiation.
