Qso Host Galaxies at Z=2.3
نویسنده
چکیده
Images are discussed of 6 QSOs at z=2.3, one QSO-like IRAS source at z=2.3, and one QSO at z=1.1, taken with resolution 0.6 to 0.9 arcsec. 5 of the QSOs are radio-quiet. All QSOs except one are just resolved, while the IRAS source has definite structure. In some cases, part of the QSO fuzz appears to be a close companion rather than a concentric host galaxy. The luminosities implied for the hosts or companions are typical of bright galaxies with young hot star populations. Radio-quiet QSOs appear to have host galaxies less luminous by ∼2 magnitudes, than radio-loud QSOs.

Gemini Imaging of Qso Host Galaxies at Z ∼ 2
We present results of a Gemini adaptive optics (AO) imaging program to investigate the host galaxies of typical QSOs at z ∼ 2. Our aim is to study the host galaxies of typical, L∗QSO QSOs at the epoch of peak QSO and star formation activity. The large database of faint QSOs provided by the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey allows us to select a sample of QSOs at z = 1.75 − 2.5 which have nearby (< 12 arc...
متن کاملExtensions around Z = 2 Qsos
Based on an R-band imaging survey of 6 high redshift (z 2) and high luminosity (M B < 28 mag) QSOs, we report the detection of extensions in two radio-quiet and one radio-loud QSO. The extensions are most likely due to the host galaxies of these QSOs, with luminosities of at least 3 7 per cent of the QSO luminosity. The most likely values for the luminosity of the host galaxies lie in the range...
متن کاملOptical/Near-Infrared Imaging of Infrared-Excess Palomar-Green QSOs
Ground-based high spatial-resolution (FWHM < 0.3–0.8) optical and nearinfrared imaging (0.4—2.2 μm) is presented for a complete sample of optically selected Palomar-Green QSOs with far-infrared excesses at least as great as those of “warm” AGN-like ultraluminous infrared galaxies (Lir/Lbig−blue−bump > 0.46). In all cases, the host galaxies of the QSOs were detected and most have discernable two...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics observations of LBQS 0108 + 0028 : K - band detection of the host galaxy of a radio - quiet QSO at z ≈ 2
We report the first unambiguous detection of the host galaxy of a normal radio-quiet QSO at high-redshift in K-band. The luminosity of the host comprises about 35% of the total K-band luminosity. Assuming the average colour of QSOs at z ≈ 2, the host would be about 5 to 6 mag brighter than an unevolved L∗ galaxy placed at z ≈ 2, and 3 to 4 mag brighter than a passively evolved L∗ galaxy at the ...
متن کاملImaging of Z∼2 Qso Host Galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope
We report on deep imaging in 2 filters with the PC2 camera of HST, of five QSOs at redshift ∼2, with a range of optical and radio luminosity. The observations included a suite of PSF observations which were used to construct new PSF models, described elsewhere by Dumont et al (2001). The new PSF models were used to remove the QSO nucleus from the images. We find that the host galaxies have reso...
