Periodic Structure in the Megaparsec-Scale Jet of PKS 0637-752

Periodic Structure in the Megaparsec-Scale Jet of PKS 0637-752

We present 18 GHz Australia Telescope Compact Array imaging of themegaparsec-scale quasar jet PKS 0637-752with angular resolution ~0.58.We draw attention to a spectacular train of quasi-periodic knots along the inner 11of the jet, with average separation ~1.1 arcsec (7.6 kpc projected). We consider...
