Abstract

Submillimeter and multi-aperture near-infrared observations of NGC 1275 are presented. The luminosity of the extended stellar component within the near-infrared apertures has been determined, and consequently also the 1.25-3.5 micron energy distribution of the unresolved nucleus. The 1 micron-30 cm energy distribution is reviewed. It is argued that the most likely origin for the 100 micron-30 cm radiation is synchrotron emission, with this nonthermal component also contributing significant flux at 10 microns. No observations are yet available which make it possible to distinguish unequivocally between a thermal (dust) and synchrotron emission mechanism in the 1-10 micron region, but the evidence marginally favors a nonthermal origin.
