Scientific paper

A polarization-sensitive 6 cm map of the superluminal quasar 3C 345 with angular resolution 2.5 x 4.7 mas was made using four stations of the US VLBI network. The optically thick core is essentially unpolarized, while both of the knots in the jet are highly polarized. The inner knot C3 has m = 11 percent at electric vector position angle chi = 22 deg, and the outer knot C2 has m = 6 percent at chi = 83 deg. Thus the magnetic field appears to be parallel to the jet near its base and to change direction down the jet.
