    Interaction versus radio source generation - The properties of radio jet parent galaxies
    This paper presents the first systematic survey at optical wavelengths of galaxies with detected radio jets using CCD imaging. About 50 percent of the sample of...

    Interaction versus radio source generation: a CCD survey of galaxies with radio jets.
    The authors present some general results suggesting that ongoing strong interaction or merging between elliptical galaxies produces a well defined type of radio...

    Intermediate-resolution spectropolarimetry of a small sample of quasars
    We present spectropolarimetric observations of a sample of three quasars selected because of their very different broad-band polarization properties. All of the...

    Morphological properties of radio elliptical galaxies
    A CCD imaging survey of elliptical galaxies which present radio jets is described. The photometric and morphological properties of these galaxies and their...

    Optical emission associated with the radio jet in B2 1243+26
    We present deep charge coupled device (CCD) imaging of the low-luminosity radio galaxy B2 1243+26 which contains a two-sided, well-defined radio jet at the kpc...

    Optical jets in blazars and radio galaxies.
    The authors have used HST/WFPC2 to observe the optical jet of the two extragalactic radio sources PKS 0521-365 (z = 0.055) and 3C 371 (z = 0.050). For PKS 0521...

    Optical observations of galaxies containing radio jets - A catalog of sources with redshift smaller than 0.15
    CCD imaging of 47 radio sources from the Bridle and Perley list of galaxies with radio jets is reported. All the observed galaxies are within the redshift range...
  • Publication
    Optical photometry and morphology of radio galaxies.
    The authors report preliminary results on the optical properties (morphology, surface-brightness profiles, surface-brightness/size relationships, ellipticities...

    Position-dependent infrared spectroscopy of M82 - 100,000 Orion nebulae?
    It is reported that 8-13-micron spectra have been obtained at several positions across the extended emission region of M82. No major differences among the...
