We report the detection of infrared emission from the jet of the nearby FR I radio galaxy 3C 31. The jet was detected with the IRAC instrument on Spitzer at 4.5 micron, 5.8 micron, and 8.0 micron out to 30" (13 kpc) from the nucleus. We…

We report the detection of an optical jet in the nearby Seyfert 1 radio galaxy 3C 120. The optical jet coincides with the well-known radio jet and emits continuum radiation (B,V',I) with a radio-to-optical spectral index of 0.65. There are…

We present a Hubble Space Telescope image of the FRII radio galaxy 3C 401, obtained at 1.6 microns with the NICMOS camera in which we identify the infrared counterpart of the brightest region of the radio jet. The jet has a complex radio…

We present images of infrared emission from the radio jet in 3C66B. Data at three wavelengths (4.5, 6.75 and 14.5 microns) were obtained using the Infrared Space Observatory. The 6.75 micron image clearly shows an extension aligned with the…

We present results from {\em Chandra}/ACIS-S, {\em Spitzer}, {\em XMM-Newton}, {\em HST}, and VLA observations of the radio hot spots, extended environment, and nucleus of the nearby ($z$=0.0597) FR II radio galaxy 3C 33. This is a…

We investigate the structure of the kpc-scale jet in the nearby (z = 0.073) radio galaxy 3C 15, using new optical Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ACS/F606W polarimetry together with archival multi-band HST imaging, Chandra X-ray data and 8.4…
