Scientific paper

The luminous radio galaxy 3C 111 has been mapped at 20, 6, and 2 cm with the VLA. A one-sided, highly collimated jet is seen emerging from the core in PA 63 deg and eventually leading into the hot spot at the leading edge of the NE lobe, 120 arcsec from the core. There is probably an active but undetected counterjet feeding the SW lobe. The main jet appears to be neither free nor thermally confined; magnetic self-confinement is suggested. A set of six nearly periodic knots in the jet may be due to the periodic oblique shocks predicted by numerical simulations.
