Scientific paper

Polarimetric observations at 5 GHz using the VLBA are reported of the compact steep spectrum source 3C 286. There are two flat spectrum knots but both are too highly polarized to be a typical core component and both appear to be resolved in VLBA measurements. The morphology and polarization structure of this source is also quite distinct from typical core-jet sources. It is suggested that the core in this source is beamed away from us by relativistic effects and we see the portion of the jet that is beamed in our direction.
