We present accurate, spatially resolved imaging of radio spectra at the bases of jets in eleven low-luminosity (Fanaroff-Riley I) radio galaxies, derived from Very Large Array (VLA) observations. We pay careful attention to calibration and…
We present high-quality VLA images of the FR I radio galaxy 3C 31 in the frequency range 1365 to 8440 MHz with angular resolutions from 0.25 to 40 arcsec. Our new images reveal complex, well resolved filamentary substructure in the radio…
We investigate the correlations between spectral index, jet side and extent of the radio lobes for a sample of nearby FRII radio galaxies. In Dennett-Thorpe et al. (1997) we studied a sample of quasars and found that the high surface…
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…
Using spectral tomography to separate overlapping spectral features in a sample of FRII radio galaxies, we find a variety of spatial/spectral features that are not easily described in the context of current models. In particular, we find…
We have compiled from the available literature a large set of radio measurements of black hole binaries in the hard X-ray state for which measurements of the gigahertz frequency radio spectral index are possible. We separate the sample into…
We present an extensive X-ray spectral analysis of the cores of 19 FRII sources in the redshift range 0.5<z<1.0 which were selected to be matched in isotropic radio power. The sample consists of 10 radio galaxies and 9 quasars. We compare…
We model the kiloparsec-scale synchrotron emission from jets in 10 Fanaroff-Riley Class I radio galaxies for which we have sensitive, high-resolution imaging and polarimetry from the Very Large Array. We assume that the jets are…
The overall classification of X-ray jets has clung to that prevalent in the radio: FRI vs. FRII (including quasars). Indeed, the common perception is that X-ray emission from FRI's is synchrotron emission whereas that from FRII's may be…
We have obtained milliarcsecond-scale spectral index distributions for a sample of 190 extragalactic radio jets through the MOJAVE project. The sources were observed in 2006 at 8.1, 8.4, 12.1, and 15.4 GHz, and we study the four-frequency…
We present deep VLA and HST observations of the large-scale jet in 3C 273 matched to 0.3" resolution. The observed spectra show a significant flattening in the infrared-ultraviolet wavelength range. The jet's emission cannot therefore be…
There is good evidence for X-ray emission associated with AGN jets which are relativistically boosted towards the observer. But to what jet radius does such X-ray emission persist? To attempt to answer this question one can look at radio…
We present 1998 HST observations of M87 which yield the first single-epoch optical and radio-optical spectral index images of the jet at $0.15''$ resolution. We find $<\alpha_{ro} > \approx 0.67$, comparable to previous measurements, and…
There is now unequivocal evidence that the jets in FR I radio galaxies are initially relativistic, decelerating flows. On the assumption that they are axisymmetric and intrinsically symmetrical (a good approximation close to the nucleus),…
We present results based on the first 20 Chandra images obtained in a survey of jets in radio selected flat-spectrum quasars (FSRQs), along with new sub-arcsecond radio maps and optical images. We discover jet X-ray flux in 12 sources…
We report on Spitzer and Gemini observations of the jet of Centaurus A in the infrared, which we combine with radio, ultraviolet and X-ray data. Spitzer detects jet emission from about 2 arcmin from the nucleus, becoming particularly bright…
The spectral index images of the jet in the nearby radio galaxy M87 have previously been shown with Very Long Baseline Interferometric arrays at 2-43 GHz. They exhibit flattening of the spectra at a location of inner (central) spine and…
The less depolarized lobe of a radio source is generally the lobe containing the jet (Laing-Garrington correlation) but the less depolarized lobe is also generally that with the flatter radio spectrum (Liu-Pooley correlation). Both effects…
We present images of the jets in the nearby radio galaxy NGC 315 made with the VLA at five frequencies between 1.365 and 5 GHz with resolutions between 1.5 and 45 arcsec FWHM. Within 15 arcsec of the nucleus, the spectral index of the jets…
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…
