Scientific paper

In the typical superluminal source 3C 345, there are two radio knots C4 and C5 which move along two different curved orbits and which show acceleration near the core. An explanation of these observations is presented here. It is assumed that the knots follow spiral-shaped magnetic lines inside the jet. From simple geometrical consideration, with an appropriate form of the spiral and a suitable size of the velocity in space, the observed paths and velocities of these two knots can be well explained.
