Apertures used for measuring the spectra overlaid on the 1.4 GHz (a), nonstellar 8.0 μm (b), and broadband X-ray (0.3–8.0 keV) (c) emission. Note that there is radio emission in all three apertures and that the IR jet emission is concentrated in the two regions farthest from the nucleus, while the X-ray emission is predominantly in the region closest to the nucleus. The 15'' scale corresponds to 6.5 kpc.
