5. Conclusion

The observed complex structure and the lack of a well defined radio core in 3C287 indicate that simple precession models cannot describe the source. Both short baselines and quasi-simultaneous multi-frequency observations are needed in order to map the faint surface brightness emission and locate a possible radio core at higher frequencies. These further observations would help us to get a better understanding of the nature of 3C287.
