Scientific paper

Maps of the jets and tails of NGC 1265 have been constructed on the basis of 2-, 6-, and 21-cm observations with the VLA, and the total intensity, spectral index, and polarization structure of this prototypical narrow angle tail source are also discussed. It is noted that the jets expand with a variable spreading rate, that there are no significant gradients in spectral index along the jets as a whole, and that the mean value of the spectral index between 2 and 21 cm is about -0.65. The fractional polarization of the jets is edge-brightened, and the apparent projected magnetic field is parallel to the jet axis in the inner two-thirds of the length of the jets. The polarization structure of the outer one-third of the jets is more complex.
