The authors present millimetre, submillimetre, far- and near-infrared observations of the unusual galaxy NGC 1275. After subtracting the near-infrared stellar contamination of the surrounding galaxy they investigate the non-stellar emission at these wavelengths. They conclude that the millimetre-wave and near-infrared emission is synchrotron radiation from a very compact component. The variability properties and radio morphology are similar to 3C 273 and the very active Blazars. It is shown that the emission at wavelengths from 10 - 400 μm is dominated by thermal emission with a spectrum very similar to NGC 1068 and that the material for star formation in NGC 1275 is almost certainly being provided by accretion in a cooling flow from the Perseus intracluster gas with only ≡2 per cent of the accreting mass forming OBA stars.
