Abstract
Cygnus X-3 (Cyg X-3) is a well known microquasar which has a rich X-ray line spectrum, produces major radio flares, and gamma-ray emission. During the next year Cyg X-3 will be observed by the new mission XRISM (X-ray Spectroscopy) and possibly IXPE mission (X-ray Polarization). We are seeking to obtain NICER observations as part of a large multi-wavelength campaign (TeV to GHz) that is being put in place to support the XRISM and possible IXPE observation of Cyg X-3.
