Scientific paper

The field of 3C66B was observed by the Imaging Proportional Counter of the Einstein Observatory. The 1979 observation yields a contour plot of data showing an elongation of the image of 3C 66B in the NE direction, while the image of 3C 66A is quite symmetric. The same elongation is found in the 1980 observation of the same field; also in this case the X-ray image of 3C 66A is symmetric and furthermore the intensities of the two sources are comparable, thus excluding that the difference in the images is due to photon statistics. The X-ray emission of 3C 66B is held to be due to activity in the nuclear region rather than to thermal bremsstrahlung from hot ga around the galaxy, and a jet which has properties similar to the M87 jet.
