| Abstract: |
We report the results of an HST survey of 17 AGN, selected solely for having a well developed radio jet bright enough to be detectable with HST for a normal radio-to-optical spectral index. It is found that optical jets are much more common then expected, been detected in ∼30% of the cases. The data are then combined with Chandra X-ray and VLA radio observations, to provide a unique dataset for investigating AGN jets physics. |
