Spitzer 8.0 μm image of the jet of 3C 31 in 1
2 pixels with 8.4 GHz radio contours overlaid, showing the relative location of the IR emission in the larger radio jet. The
image was smoothed with a Gaussian 0
6 wide after the stellar emission was subtracted. The 8.4 GHz contours are at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.2, 2, and 20 mJy beam
