Three-Color Photometry of Southern QSOs, Radio Galaxies and Normal Galaxies

Data on the UBV system are presented for 14 quasistellar
radio sources, 8 N galaxies,39 radio galaxies and 19 radioquiet
galaxies south of +20° declination. Their positions in the two -
color diagram show that the integrated colors of the radio
galaxies are similar to those of the radioquiet galaxies of the
same morphological type. In an absolute radio magnitude - radio
index diagram a linear relation exists between M158 and ím158 Boo
for radio galaxies of all classes. The QSO:s, however, do not
follow this relation, and possible explanations are considered.
The brightness and color distributions in the larger galaxies
are described in detail. Our results are combined with other data
for a discussion of the compositions of these systems. It is
suggested that a fairly high amount of reddening occurs in the
central regions of several galaxies, as for instance, in NGC 1068
and NGC 1316.
