Abstract

My purpose is to describe the properties of extragalactic radio sources and to emphasize those measurements in the infrared which will contribute to our understanding of these objects. Since most of the radio sources have only been studied down to wavelengths of a few centimetres, and if an optical identification has been made they may also have been studied in the range 0.4 to 1.0 μm, observations at any infrared wavelengths between 1μm and say 2 mm will be of value. However, only a limited number of radio sources are likely to be detectable with present-day techniques over an appreciable part of this wavelength range. We will endeavour to suggest the types of sources which most merit study and are intense enough to be detected.
