Deep I-band Imaging of z=5.99 Quasar
نویسنده
چکیده
Deep I-band imaging was carried out to search for the optical counterpart of the X-ray jet candidate near SDSS 1306+0356, reported by Schwartz (2022, astro-ph/0202190). The data suggest that the extended X-ray source may be a jet, related to a galaxy rather than to the quasar itself.

The Quasar Pair Q 1634 + 267 A , B and the Binary QSO vs . Dark Lens Hypotheses
Deep HST/NICMOS H (F160W) band observations of the z = 1.96 quasar pair Q 1634+267A,B reveal no signs of a lens galaxy to a 1σ threshold of ≃ 22.5 mag. The minimum luminosity for a normal lens galaxy would be a 6L * galaxy at z ≃ 0.5, which is 1000 times greater than our detection threshold. Our observation constrains the infrared mass-to-light ratio of any putative, early-type, lens galaxy to ...
متن کاملThe Galaxy Environment of a Quasar at z=1.226: A Possible Cluster Merger
We have conducted ultra-deep optical and deep near-infrared observations of a field around the z = 1.226 radio-quiet quasar 104420.8+055739 from the ClowesCampusano LQG of 18 quasars at z ∼ 1.3 in search of associated galaxy clustering. Galaxies at these redshifts are distinguished by their extremely-red colours, with I − K > 3.75, and we find a factor ∼11 overdensity of such galaxies in a 2.25...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Color-selected Quasar at z = 5.50.
We present observations of RD J030117+002025, a quasar at z=5.50 discovered from deep, multicolor, ground-based observations covering 74 arcmin2. This is the most distant quasar or active galaxy currently known. The object was targeted as an R-band dropout, with RAB>26.3 (3 sigma limit in a 3&arcsec; diameter region), IAB=23.8, and zAB=23.4. The Keck/Low-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer spectrum...
متن کاملImaging of Sdss Z> 6 Quasar Fields: Gravitational Lensing, Companion Galaxies and the Host Dark Matter Halos
We have undertaken deep optical imaging observations of three 6.2 < z < 6.5 quasar fields in the i and z filters. These data are used to search for foreground galaxies which are gravitationally lensing the quasars and distant galaxies physically associated with the quasars. Foreground galaxies are found closer than 5 from the lines-of-sight of two of the three quasars. However, the faintness of...

We present the results of ground-based and HST imaging studies targeted on z > 4:5 quasar elds. High-redshift galaxies identi ed in deep narrow-bandLy images of the elds surrounding the quasars BR1202{0725 (z = 4:694) and BR2237{ 0607 (z = 4:558) have been con rmed with follow-up spectroscopy using the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck 10m telescope. These high-redshift galaxies are typically only ...
