Aims:We investigate the energy sources of the infrared (IR) emission and their relation to the radio continuum emission at various spatial scales within the Scd galaxy M 33. ... We use the wavelet transform of these maps to a) separate the diffuse emission components from compact sources, b) compare the emission at different wavelengths, and c) study the radio-IR correlation at various spatial scales. ... We also find a strong correlation between the 3.6 cm and HЮБ emission at all scales. ...

... The results of long-term monitoring of Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum sources were found the statistically significant differences (0.05 significance level) in the high-frequency spectral index distribution between subgroups of galaxies and quasars. ... This can mean that the electron energy distribution for GPS galaxies is steeper than for GPS quasars. ... The first area corresponds to GPS-quasars that have statistically larger value of redfhift, second area corresponds to GPS-galaxies. ...
