我们呈现了3C 66 B射电喷流的红外辐射图像。使用红外空间天文台获得了三个波长（4.5、6.75和14.5微米）的数据。6.75微米的图像清楚地显示了与射电结构对齐的延伸。在14.5 μm的图像中也检测到了喷流，但在4.5 μm处没有。喷注的射电-红外光谱可以解释为高能破缺为4× 1011 eV的电子群的同步辐射。我们对无线电反喷流的红外线通量设置了上限。一个对称的，相对论光束的双射流结构是一致的，我们的结果，如果射流由多个组件。
We present images of infrared emission from the radio jet in 3C66B. Data at three wavelengths (4.5, 6.75 and 14.5 µm) were obtained using the Infrared Space Observatory. The 6.75 µm image clearly shows an extension aligned with the radio structure. The jet was also detected in the 14.5 µm image, but not at 4.5 µm. The radio-infraredoptical spectrum of the jet can be interpreted as synchrotron emission from a population of electrons with a high-energy break of 4×10 11 eV. We place upper limits on the IR flux from the radio counter-jet. A symmetrical, relativistically beamed twin-jet structure is consistent with our results if the jets consist of multiple components.
