Scientific paper

VLA observations of the quasar 0800 + 608 (z = 0.689) with high dynamic range and high resolution are presented. The quasar's jet consists of 11 bright knots and continuous underlying emission. The maximum of the polarized flux density lies to one side of the intensity maximum for at least part of the jet. The jet also wiggles on many wavelength scales. These wiggles are used to argue against simple applications of Kelvin-Helmholtz theory, and the jet is compared with MHD numerical simulations. The reason why a diffuse lobe should exist so close to the core on the counterjet side is considered; it is suggested that it results from disruption of a counterjet which is beamed away from the observer. A spectrum of a region of extended optical emission is presented and its significance discussed.
