Did most high-redshift quasars escape detection?
We present follow-up spectroscopy to the Calar Alto Deep Imaging Survey (CADIS), reporting on the quasars in the CADIS 16 h-field, and including preliminary data from two other fields. In this 10′ × 10′ field we found six quasars at redshift z > 2.2 which are brighter than R = 22, while surface densities determined in previous surveys are reported to be below one on average. This is the highest...
متن کاملOverdensities of Extremely Red Objects in the Fields of High-redshift Radio-loud Quasars
We have examined the occurrence of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the fields of 13 luminous quasars (11 radio-loud and two radio-quiet) at 1.8 < z < 3.0. The average surface density of Ks ≤ 19 mag EROs is two-three times higher than in large, random-field surveys, and the excess is significant at the ≈ 3σ level even after taking into account that the ERO distribution is highly inhomogeneous. T...
متن کاملPhotometric Properties of the Most Massive High-redshift Galaxies
We calculate the observable properties of the most massive high-redshift galaxies in the hierarchical formation scenario where stellar spheroid and supermassive black hole growth are fueled by gasrich mergers. Combining high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the hierarchical formation of a z ∼ 6 quasar, stellar population synthesis models, template AGN spectra, prescriptions for interste...
متن کاملHigh - redshift obscured quasars
Using mid-infrared and radio criteria, we select a sample of candidate z ∼ 2 obscured quasars. Optical spectroscopy confirms about half of these as type-2 quasars, and modelling the population suggests 50-80% of the quasars are obscured. We find some flat radio spectrum type-2 quasars, and tentative evidence for obscuration unrelated to the torus. Using a similar sample, we also find evidence f...
متن کاملCompact High-Redshift Galaxies Are the Cores of the Most Massive Present-Day Spheroids
Observations suggest that the effective radii of high-redshift massive spheroids are as much as a factor ∼ 6 smaller than low-redshift galaxies of comparable mass. Given the apparent absence of low-redshift counterparts, this has often been interpreted as indicating that the high density, compact red galaxies must be “puffed up” by some mechanism. We compare the ensemble of high-redshift observ...
