Scientific paper

The optical polarization, morphology, and color of the 3C 273 radio jet were studied to see if it could be included in one of the three common types of jet. The jet of 3C 273 consists of at least three distinct regions which totally differ in their optical emission properties: the inner part (plateau), the highly polarized optical knot and the strong radio hot spot, which was not detected optically. Thus the 3C 273 jet cannot be classified as a simple type 1, 2 or 3 jet.
