Description
The search for optical emission from radio hot spots has a long history
but, up to now, only very few hot spots with optical synchrotron
radiation have been detected. We embarked on a project to search for
optical hot spot emission with VLT. We present the first results of
near-infrared and optical imaging observations which detected
synchrotron emission with a success rate of some 70%.
