Scientific paper

Various models of the optical jet in 3C 273 are discussed. The optical emission is probably due to inverse Compton scattering of infrared radiation from the quasar by a mass in excess of about 60,000,000 solar masses. It seems that the jet was relativistically ejected along the polar axis of the quasar approximately 1 million yr ago. Difficulties are encountered in applying current models of extended radio sources to the jet.
