The structure of the radio galaxy 3C 111 at decameter wavelengths

Results of the first radio interferometric observations of the radio galaxy 3C 111 at decameter wavelengths are presented. The observations were obtai ned using the URAN-1 interferometer. A simple model for the radio-brightnes s distribution of this source at 25 and 20 MHz has been determined. The gen eral properties of the best-fit: three-component model at these wavelengths are similar to those observed at centimeter wavelengths; the overall maxim um sizes and position angles of the structures are virtually identical. How ever, there are appreciable differences; in particular, the decameter angul ar sizes of the outer components are considerably larger, and the relative contribution of the central component (which coincides with the optical gal axy) is much less.
