| Description | The radio source Cygnus X (IAU 20N4A) has long created interest because of its unusual spectrum, its seemingly extended nature, and its location in a region where we believe we look nearly lengthwise down a spiral arm of the Galaxy. Piddington and Minnett [1] first showed that the source had a thermal spectrum. In a recent paper Davies [2] has concluded that the source is an extremely large extended $H_{II}$ region located in the second spiral arm in Cygnus. The recent construction of large parabolic antennas has made it possible to clarify greatly the nature of Cygnus X; it is the purpose of this paper to give the results of a high-resolution survey of the Cygnus X region, and to report a possibly relevant optical observation. |
