Scientific paper

Observations made with the CCD of the 2-m Pic du Midi Observatory telescope have led to the first detection of optical polarization in the well-individualized optical knots of the 3C 66B jet identified by Fraix-Burnet et al. (1989). The images were analyzed using the reduction procedure of Fraix-Burnet et al. The results confirm that the aligned features located at the position of the radio knots result from synchrotron emission, and identify 3C 66B as a new radiogalaxy/quasar containing an M87-type optical jet.
