Scientific paper

Plates of NGC 1097 taken in four spectral bands have been digitized and processed at JPL's Image Processing Laboratory. The processing has revealed that (1) there is a fourth jet, R4, counter to the L-shaped jet, R1; (2) the area density of point sources in the jets is no different from that found on the sky; (3) two of the jets, R1 and R2, are bluer than the night sky, while one of the jets, R3, is redder than the night sky; (4) the nonstellar objects situated on the jets are noticeably bluer than the night sky; and (5) color-enhanced images of the spiral structure illustrate the distribution of both gaseous and spiral-arm stellar population disrupted from symmetry by an apparent companion elliptical.
