Abstract
We have determined the radio structure of the quasar 3C147 from multi-baseline VLBI data at 609 MHz using both a conventional method and a technique which uses the ‘closure’ phase information to produce a good approximation to a synthesis map of the source. The structure is similar to the central part of M87, with a bright core and a linear ‘jet’ of projected length ∼ 1.5 kpc which is concentrated in bright ‘knots’.
