Abstract (from CDS):

We present images of infrared (IR) emission from the radio jet in 3C 66B. Data at three wavelengths (4.5, 6.75 and 14.5µm) 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 4.5µm. The radio-infrared-optical spectrum of the jet can be interpreted as synchrotron emission from a population of electrons with a high-energy break of 4x1011eV. 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.
