Scientific paper

MERLIN at Jodrell Bank and the VLA in New Mexico are complementary instruments, representing the latest generation of aperture-synthesis radio telescopes. MERLIN provides a factor of four greater resolution than VLA, whereas the shorter spacings of the latter provide essential information on large-scale structure. The authors present here the first map to be produced by combining data from MERLIN and the VLA. The new map, of the quasar 3C 179 (redshift, z = 0.846), is a considerable improvement on maps made from the individual arrays and reveals greater detail, particularly in the quasars's jet, which seems to be splitting or disrupting.
