Scientific paper

Full synthesis WSRT maps are presented for the radio source 3C 264, identified with the elliptical galaxy NGC 3862 in the A1367 cluster, at 0.6, 1.4, and 5.0 GHz. The maps show a head-tail morphology with a twin arm structure. The spectrum becomes steeper away from the galaxy, the prevailing direction of the magnetic field is roughly parallel to the direction of the far tail, and the density of thermal electrons is about 0.001 per cu cm. Results obtained at 4.9 GHz with the Very Large Array are also examined.
