Keel Sterrewacht Leiden Received 1987 August 11 ; accepted 1987 December 11 ABSTRACT Multicolor optical images have been used to measure the broad-band spectral shapes of radio jets known to show optical counterparts, and to search for such counterparts in additional objects. One new detection, the brightest knot in the NGC 6251 jet, is reported. In all cases, except part of the 3C 273 jet, the jet continua are well-represented by synchrotron spectra from truncated power-law electron distributions, with emitted-frame critical frequencies between 3 x 1014 and 2 x 1015 Hz. This may be due to fine structure in the jets or to the particle (re)acceleration process. Two hot spots (Pic A and 3C 303) differ from the jets, in showing unbroken power-law spectra from the radio to the B band. Image restoration has been used to examine the sub-arcsecond structure of the M87 jet and derive spectral shapes for various knots free of blending problems. The structure matches that seen in the radio to the Ol'S level, implying that the jet structure prevents particles from streaming freely over this distance (~30pc) Significant changes in turnover frequency occur from knot to knot, with an overall trend of higher frequency closer to the nucleus. Knot A is an exception, with a spectrum like the features near the core. An Appendix gives results of surface photometry for the program galaxies.

Both of these sources belong to the blazar sub-class of active galactic nuclei whose jets are closely aligned to our line of sight. Blazars are most extreme and pow- erful variable sources of radiation of energies ranging from the radio to the γ-ray regimes.

INTRODUCTION Powerful extended extragalactic radio sources pose two vexing astro- physical problems [reviewed in (147) and (157)]. First, from what energy reservoir do they draw their large radio luminosities (as muchas 10a8 W between 10 MHzand 100 GHz)?Second, how does the active center in the parent galaxy or QSOsupply as muchas 10~4 J in relativistic particles and fields to radio "lobes" up to several hundredkiloparsecs outside the optical object? Newaperture synthesis arrays (68, 250) and new image-processing algorithms (66, 101, 202, 231) have recently allowed radio imaging subarcsecond resolution with high sensitivity and high dynamicrange; as a result, the complexityof the brighter sources has been revealed clearly for the first time. Manycontain radio jets, i.e. narrow radio features between compact central "cores" and more extended "lobe" emission. This review examinesthe systematic properties of such jets and the dues they give to the by PURDUE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/16/07. For personal use only. physics of energy transfer in extragalactic sources. Wedo not directly consider the jet production mechanism,which is intimately related to the Annu. Rev. Astro. Astrophys. 1984.22:319-358. Downloaded from arjournals.annualreviews.org first problemnoted above--for reviews, see (207) and (251). 1. i Why "’Jets"? Baade & Minkowski(3) first used the term jet in an extragalactic context, describing the train of optical knots extending ,-~ 20" from the nucleus of M87; the knots resemble a fluid jet breaking into droplets.

    Atxention Microfiche User, The original document from which this microfiche was made was found to contain some imperfection or imperfections that reduce full comprehension of some of the text despite the good technical quality of the microfiche itself. The imperfections may "be: — missing or illegible pages/figures — wrong pagination — poor overall printing quality, etc. We normally refuse to microfiche such a document and request a replacement document (or pages) from the National INIS Centre concerned. However, our experience shows that many months pass before such documents are replaced. Sometimes the Centre is not able to supply a "better copy or, in some cases, the pages that were supposed to be missing correspond to a wrong pagination only. We feel that it is better to proceed with distributing the microfiche made of these documents than to withhold them till the imperfections are removed. If the removals are subsequestly made then replacement microfiche can be issued. In line with this approach then, our specific practice for microfiching documents with imperfections is as follows: i. A microfiche of an imperfect document will be marked with a special symbol (black circle) on the left of the title. This symbol will appear on all masters and copies of the document (1st fiche and trailer fiches) even if the imperfection is on one fiche of the report only. 2» If imperfection is not too general the reason will be specified on a sheet such as this, in the space below. 3» The microfiche will be considered as temporary, but sold at the normal price. Replacements, if they can be issued, will be available for purchase at the regular price.

The data are mainly taken from the standard work Biographischer Index der Astronomie (Dick, Brüggenthies 2005). Some information has been added by the author (this especially concerns living twentieth-century astronomers). Members of the families of Dreyer, Lord Rosse and other astronomers (as mentioned in the text) are not listed.
