The cosmic evolution of quasar host galaxies
We present the results of a near-infrared imaging study of the host galaxies of 17 quasars in the redshift range 1< z <2. The observations were carried out at the ESO VLT UT1 8m telescope under excellent seeing conditions (∼ 0. 4). The sample includes radio-loud (RLQ) and radio-quiet (RQQ) quasars with similar distribution of redshift and optical luminosity. For all the observed objects but one...
متن کاملQuasar H II Regions During Cosmic Reionization
Cosmic reionization progresses as H II regions form around sources of ionizing radiation. Their average size grows continuously until they percolate and complete reionization. We demonstrate how this typical growth can be calculated around the largest, biased sources of UV emission such as quasars by further developing an analytical model based on the excursion set formalism. This approach allo...
متن کاملCosmic homogeneity demonstrated with luminous red galaxies
We test the homogeneity of the Universe at z ∼ 0.3 with the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) spectroscopic sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. First, the mean number N(R) of LRGs within completely surveyed LRG-centered spheres of comoving radius R is shown to be proportional to R at radii greater than R ∼ 70 h Mpc. The test has the virtue that it does not rely on the assumption that the LRG sample...
متن کاملIntrinsic alignments of SDSS-III BOSS LOWZ sample galaxies
Intrinsic alignments (IA) of galaxies, i.e. correlations of galaxy shapes with each other (II) or with the density field (gI), are potentially a major astrophysical source of contamination for weak lensing surveys. We present the results of IA measurements of galaxies on 0.1–200hMpc scales using the SDSS-III BOSS LOWZ sample, in the redshift range 0.16 < z < 0.36. We extend the existing IA meas...
متن کاملA Synoptic , Multiwavelength Analysis of a Large Quasar Sample
We present variability and multi-wavelength photometric information for the 933 known quasars in the QUEST Variability Survey. These quasars are grouped into variable and non-variable populations based on measured variability confidence levels. In a time-limited synoptic survey, we detect an anti-correlation between redshift and the likelihood of variability. Our comparison of variability likel...
