Detection of Co(4–3), Co(9–8), and Dust Emission in the Bal Quasar Apm 08279+5255 at a Redshift of 3.9
We detected with the IRAM interferometer the lines of CO(4–3) and CO(9–8) from the recently-discovered broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255. The molecular lines are at a redshift of 3.9110, which we take to be the true cosmological redshift of the quasar’s host galaxy. This means the quasar emission lines at z = 3.87 are blueshifted by a kinematic component of 2500 km s, and, along with ...
متن کاملMost supermassive black hole growth is obscured by dust
We present an alternative method to X-ray surveys for hunting down the high-redshift type-2 quasar population, using Spitzer and VLA data on the Spitzer First Look Survey. By demanding objects to be bright at 24 μm but faint at 3.6 μm, and combining this with a radio criterion, we find 21 type-2 radio-quiet quasar candidates at the epoch at which the quasar activity peaked. Optical spectroscopy...
متن کاملThe extended Lyman - α emission surrounding the z = 3 . 04 radio - quiet QSO 1205 - 30 : Primordial infalling gas illuminated by the quasar ? ⋆
We present spectroscopic observations obtained with the FORS1 instrument on the ESO VLT under good seeing conditions of the radio-quiet zem = 3.04 quasar Q1205-30 and its associated extended Lyα emission. The extended Lyα emission was originally found in a deep narrow band image targeting a z abs ≈ zem Lyman-limit system in the spectrum of the QSO. Using spectral point-spread function fitting t...
متن کاملThe hyperluminous infrared quasar 3C 318 and its implications for interpreting sub-mm detections of high–redshift radio galaxies
We present near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging of the compact steep-spectrum radio source 3C 318 which shows it to be a quasar at redshift z = 1.574 (the z = 0.752 value previously reported is incorrect). 3C 318 is an IRAS, ISO and SCUBA source so its new redshift makes it the most intrinsically luminous far-infrared (FIR) source in the 3C catalogue (there is no evidence of strong gravitatio...
متن کاملQso Environments at Intermediate Redshifts
We have made a survey of quasar environments at 0.5 ≤ z ≤ 0.8, using a sample of both radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars matched in B-band luminosity. Our observations include images of background control fields to provide a good determination of the field galaxy counts. About 10 per cent of the quasars appear to live in rich clusters, whereas approximately 45 per cent live in environments simi...
