Scientific paper

A plasmon model of the optical-radio knots of M 87 is discussed in terms of the observed characteristics of the galactic jet. The physical properties of the jet are summarized, and the spectral evolution of the jet and knots is studied, taking expansion, Fermi acceleration, and synchrotron radiation into account. A Fermi acceleration coefficient of about 10 to the 9th/s is obtained, and it is shown that a spectral break should occur at about 5 x 10 to the 14th Hz and should vary quite slowly with time, in agreement with observations.
