Scientific paper

The authors present new MERLIN observations of the brightness and polarization of the radio jet of 3C 273 at a resolution of 0.35 arc s. One of the most marked features of the new map, the high polarization found within the head of the source, is hard to explain. If the motion is indeed fast, then relativistic aberration should be taken into account; it is suggested that this leads to a natural explanation of the high observed polarization.
