Abstract
PREVIOUS observations of the radio source 3C273 by the method of lunar occultations have shown that it consists of two separate components the positions of which were determined with an accuracy of 1 arc sec1. Component A coincides closely with a jet-like nebulosity and component B with a nearby object of stellar appearance2. This communication presents a contour map of the source, constructed from the analysis of five complete occultations.
