Scientific paper

The low-luminosity radio galaxy 3C449 exhibits great variation of structure. High-resolution observations of 3C449 are made on a partially completed very large array. Two compact, well collimated, nearly symmetric jets are found to issue from an unresolved core which is optically thick at 6 cm and coincident with a cDE4 optical galaxy. The radio jets are not smooth in appearance, showing a lumpy and somewhat turbulent structure. Each widens steadily beyond the turn-on point, and gradually diminishes in brightness until each makes a sharp bend to the west and terminates in large, diffuse blobs with very relaxed appearance. Trailing emission up to about 8 arcmin from the center is detected.
