Abstract

We have obtained HST snapshots observations using the WFPC2 through the F702W broad band red optical filter of nearly the complete 3CR sample of radio galaxies and quasars. Here we present results on the dust in the 3CR radio galaxies in the redshift range 0.0 < z < 0.5. The images have ~ 0.1″ resolution, corresponding to (6, 55, 170, 500) parsecs at redshifts of z = (0.003, 0.03, 0.1, 0.5) respectively.
