Scientific paper

An attempt is made to explain the structure of compact radio sources with a precession-like motion of a relativistic jet. It is found that the curvature of these sources can be readily explained in this way. In addition, the knots which are often revealed by VLBI observations arise naturally in such a model. The main problem with the model is that it cannot by itself explain the arcsecond structure of asymmetric radio sources.
