We have combined space-based Spitzer data at 8 um with ground-based, continuum radio data to search for a relation between the ratio of radio to infrared emission and the black hole mass in a sample of twenty-one 3C Active Galactic Nuclei. The radio data were collected at 2.3 GHz (S-band) and 8.5 GHz (X-band), by middle and high-school students using the Goldstone-Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT). The IR data were collected with the IRAC imaging instrument on Spitzer. The GAVRT students carried out the initial data analysis at both IR and radio wavelengths. GAVRT is a science-education partnership between NASA/JPL and the Lewis Center for Educational Research, which allows K-12 students to participate in real research as part of their standard classroom education. The GAVRT-Spitzer Team is a collaboration among GAVRT, the Spitzer Science Center, and K-12 students across the country to carry out research projects utilizing both radio and IR data.
