The extended line-emission from 3C 352

A study of the structure and kinematics of the extended emission line region (EELR) around 3C 352 with an imaging Fabry-Perot interferometer is presented. The EELR seen in the [O II] line extends over 12″ and is aligned with the radio lobes. The continuum source is small without indication of such an alignment. Therefore, models based on excitation of the EELR by jet induced starbursts do not apply. Instead, the morphology and velocity structure can be explained in terms of cooling gas excited and accelerated by the bow shock associated with the jet. In the near neighbourhood there are several faint continuum objects which are possibly companions of 3C 352
