Resumen:
We study the interaction of early-type stars with the jets of active
galactic nuclei. A bow-shock will form as a consequence of the
interaction of the jet with the winds of stars and particles can be
accelerated up to relativistic energies in these shocks. We compute the
non-thermal radiation produced by relativistic electrons from radio to
gamma-rays. This radiation may be significant, and its detection might
yield information on the properties of the stellar population in the
galaxy nucleus, as well as on the relativistic jet. This emission is
expected to be relevant for nearby non-blazar sources.
