摘要：
A spectrum along the jet of M87 has been obtained in effective seeing sigma* congruent-to 0.48" with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Near lambda-5175 (Mg I b), the spectrum of the, nucleus shows both emission and stellar absorption lines. However, when the spectrum of the underlying core of M87 is subtracted, the stellar absorption lines disappear, leaving a blue continuum and the broad emission line [N I] lambda-5199. At visual wavelengths, the nucleus is essentially completely nonthermal; it is not a cluster of stars. This confirms results of Dressler & Richstone.
