Detection of Extended Optical Emission Associated with the Northern Radio Hot SPOT of 3C 390.3
We present deep V, R, and I broadband CCD images of the northern radio lobe associated with the radio galaxy 3C 390.3. Spatially resolved emission coincident with the brightest region of the northern lobe (hot spot B) is detected in all filters, with surface brightness V=24.6 mag arcsec ^{-2} and V-I color ~ 0.8. The new optical data, together with
