Cygnus X-3 is an X-ray binary system located about 24,000 light-years away in our Milky Way galaxy.
The system was discovered in the early 1970s when radio telescopes spotted powerful jets radiating out from it at nearly the speed of light.
Now, a team led by Alexandra Veledina of the University of Turku in Finland has found that the amount of polarization in the X-rays coming from the system can only be explained by a funnel-shaped cavity at the heart of a compact object.
Cygnus X-3's outbursts are intermittent thanks to the elliptical orbit of the Wolf -Rayet star around the compact object.
The structure of the funnel changes in response to greater or lesser amounts of accretion.
If the accretion rate drops too low, the funnel can collapse completely.
