Optical synchrotron emission and particle acceleration in radio hot spots
We discuss, in terms of particle acceleration, the results from optical observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope aimed at the detection of the optical counterparts of radio hot spots. To select the targets, we adopted criteria based on theoretical expectations and obtained an unprecedented 70% detection rate. Our results strongly suggest that
