Scientific paper

The development of the approach of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) has provided radio astronomy with a method which can resolve structures that are 1000 times smaller than those resolved by the best optical telescopes. During VLBI observations at a wavelength of 2.8 cm, a high-energy double source was discovered in the nucleus of the radio source 3C111. The distance of the two components of the source is only 0.0006 arc sec, or according to a linear measurement scale 2.9 light years. The radio source No. 111 is identified in the Third Catalog of the Cambridge Observatory as a galaxy at a distance of 960 million light years. The radiation distribution in the innermost nucleus of the radio galaxy is shown in a graph.
