Scientific paper

The authors have measured the surface brightness of the broad 'dog-leg jet' which appears to be associated with the bright barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097, in the B, R, J and H wavebands. The colours of the jet, together with published radio upper limits, appear to rule out both synchrotron and thermal Bremsstrahlung as the source of the emission. The authors suggest that the optical emission comes from stars near type G. The most promising explanation of this feature is that it is a tidal remnant; alternatively it might consist of stars formed from cooling plasma in a jet.
