Continuum maps of 3C 236 at 1 mm (left) and 3 mm (right). Crosses (+) mark the position of the AGN and jet peak emission according to the UV-FIT models (Table 1). Triangles mark the position of components A and B1 from the VLBI map of Schilizzi et al. (2001).The contour levels are  − 3 mJy beam^-1, 3 mJy beam^-1, 9 mJy beam^-1 to 63 mJy beam^-1 in steps of 9 mJy beam^-1 for the 1 mm map, and  −6 mJy beam^-1, 6 mJy beam^-1, 22 mJy beam^-1 to 176 mJy beam^-1 in steps of 22 mJy beam^-1 for the 3 mm map. The filled ellipses represent the beams at 1 mm (0.60″  ×  0.50″, PA = 41°) and 3 mm (1.16″  ×  0.86″, PA = 41°). (Δ α, Δ δ) = (0,0) corresponds to the position of the AGN at 1 mm in both panels.
