Description we propose a long uninterrupted observation of the x-ray binary system cygnus x-3, lasting for 4,8hours (the period of the system), in order to study the colour evolution of the infrared flares seen in this exotic object. in particular we wish to test the predictions of the relativistic jet model regarding the spectral behaviour during the flares this proposal is identical to proposal ii (propid=cygnusx4) except that this proposal contains the autumn launch target list while proposal ii contain the spring launch target list

Mission Description The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the worlds first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
