Scientific paper

Detailed multifrequency VLA observations of the high-luminosity radio galaxy 3C 337 reveal a source that is highly asymmetric in its structural, luminosity, spectral, and polarization properties. Extensive emission-line regions are seen to the east of the galaxy, where the radio source shows signs of interaction with an external medium, such as strong depolarization and a double hotspot. These results are discussed in the context of a clumpy two-phase thermal medium around distant radio galaxies and its importance for their structure.
