Galaxy Clustering around Nearby Luminous Quasars
We examine the clustering of galaxies around a sample of 20 luminous low redshift (z < ∼ 0.30) quasars observed with the Wide Field Camera-2 on the Hubble Space Telescope. The HST resolution makes possible galaxy identification brighter than V = 23.5 and as close as 2 to the quasar. We find a significant enhancement of galaxies within a projected separation of < ∼ 100 h kpc of the quasars. If w...
متن کاملThe Clustering of Galaxies around Quasars
We study the cross-correlation between quasars and galaxies by embedding models for the formation and evolution of the two populations in cosmological N-body simulations. We adopt the quasar evolution model of Kauffmann & Haehnelt (2000), in which supermassive black holes are formed and fuelled during major mergers. We define the “bias” parameter bQG as the ratio of the cross-correlation functi...
متن کاملThe Origin of Intergalactic Metals around Lyman-break Galaxies
Theoretical and observational arguments suggest that the intergalactic medium (IGM) might have been polluted with metals produced by early star formation. In this scenario, Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at redshift z = 3 are likely to be surrounded by old metal bubbles, relics of an era when the characteristic mass of galaxies was small and gas retainment more difficult. We find that pregalactic ...
متن کاملThe Angular Clustering of Lyman-break Galaxies at Redshift
We have measured the angular correlation function w(θ) for a sample of 871 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) in five fields at redshift z ∼ 3. Fitting the power-law Awθ −β to a weighted average of w(θ) from the five fields over the range 12 < ∼ θ < ∼ 330 arcsec, we find Aw ∼ 2 arcsec and β ∼ 0.9. The slope is, within the errors, the same as for galaxy samples in the local and intermediate redshift un...
متن کاملLarge - scale structure of Lyman break galaxies around a radio galaxy protocluster at z ∼ 4 ⋆
We present broad-band imaging with the Subaru Telescope of a 25 ′ ×25 ′ field surrounding the radio galaxy TN J1338– 1942 at redshift z = 4.1. The field contains excesses of Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) and Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) identified with a protocluster surrounding the radio galaxy. Our new wide-field images provide information about the boundary of the protocluster and its surroundings....
