Scientific paper

Hubble Space Telescope images of Markarian 463, an interacting Seyfert 2 galaxy, reveal an optical jet 0.84 arcsec long at position angle 182(deg) originating at the Seyfert nucleus. The jet terminates at a previously observed radio point source and resembles the jet in 3C 273. Previous polarization observations and our filter photometry suggest that part of the jet's luminosity may be reflected light from the hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus previously found in this galaxy. This work is supported by NASA-GSFC grant NAG 5-1630.
