Abstract (from CDS):

We present the results of a study of the centiarcsecond radio structure at wavelength of 18 cm in the high-redshift galaxy associated with the radio source 4C 41.17 (z=3.8). We have detected a component of size not more than 15 mas (≃65pc, H0=75km/s/Mpc, q0=0.5) at a distance of ≃2.9kpc from the nucleus of the galaxy which accounts for ∼30% of the flux density of the previously known unresolved VLA component. We speculate that the radio component is associated with a clump in the interstellar medium. The estimate of its mass, 1.5x108M, is consistent with those of subgalactic structures preceding formation of globular clusters in the early stages of the evolution of galaxies.
