7c. Jets from Various Kinds of Galaxies

There are various kinds of jets, generally somewhat narrower than in the preceding two sub-categories, and emerging from a range of different kinds of central objects. In AM 0501-632, narrow jets appear to continue out from either end of the major axis. In AM 1124-272 the object looks similar to ``the Wakamatsu jet'' (see Arp in ESO Workshop on Jets, Feb. 1981, and Wakamatsu and Arp 1983). In AM 0647-320 the jet seems to emanate from a stellar image: it may possibly be a star projected onto an edge-on galaxy. The first four objects on page 7.10 have very long jets of low-surface-brightness. They are possibly related to Category 15: Galaxies with Tails and Loops of Material or Debris. On page 7.12 the first two objects are ellipticals with very faint and short jets which are only possible candidates. In AM 0926-762 there appear to be narrow, forked jets emanating from the south-east end of the major axis. In AM 0329-362 the small peculiar galaxy appears to have a very narrow jet emerging to the south-west to a possibly stellar object. Very good seeing would be needed to check the existence of the jet. Finally, AM 1025-401 apparently illustrates a case of crossed jets contained completely within the disk of a galaxy. The pattern consists of six radial spokes reminiscent of an asterisk.
