Description
New maps of 3C273 at 151 and 408 MHz are presented using the MERLIN interferometer, with dynamic range of 4x103:1 and 104:1, respectively. These show that (1) there is an extended region or lobe to the south of the main jet, (2) the radio emission of the jet is continuous from the core to beyond the limit of the optical jet and (3) no counter-component can be found in the opposite direction to the jet. The ridge-line of the jet shows a 'wiggle', the wavelength (lambda) of which decreases by a factor of 6 along its length. The data suggest that 3C273 is intrinsically one-sided. (author)
