HST Observations of Jets and Radio Lobes

The Hubble Space Telescope has proved to be remarkably useful for discovering and for studying the optical counterparts of radio lobes and radio jets. Since much of the structure seen in the radio is found on subarcsecond scales, it is not surprising that HST, with it's improved resolution relative to ground based observations, would be a major contributor to this field of research. This paper reports briefly on some of these successes, and refers to more detailed descriptions in the literature.
