相关论文: Extensions around z=2 QSOs
Based on an $R$-band imaging survey of high-redshift ($z \approx 2$) QSOs with the 4.2m WHT, we report the detection of extensions to the nuclear PSFs of two radio-quiet and one radio-loud QSO. The extensions are most likely host galaxies,…
We present results of the hosts of four high-redshift ($z \approx 2$) and high luminosity ($M_B \lsim -28$ mag) QSOs, three radio-quiet one radio-loud, imaged in R and K bands. The extensions to the nuclear unresolved source are most likely…
We have been conducting an imaging survey to detect host galaxies of radio-quiet QSOs at high redshift (z = 2), in order to compare them with those of radio-loud objects. Six QSOs were observed in the R passband with the auxiliary port of…
Three high-redshift (z=2) and high luminosity (M_B < -28 mag for Ho = 50, qo=0.5) QSOs, two radio-quiet one radio-loud, were imaged in R, I and K bands. The luminosities, colours and sizes of the hosts overlap with those of actively…
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,…
Images are discussed of six 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. Five of the QSOs are radio-quiet. All QSOs except one are just resolved, while the IRAS source has…
2 micron broad- and narrow-band imaging with the Gemini-N telescope of five z~4.7 QSOs, has resolved both the host galaxies and [O II] emission-line gas. The resolved fluxes of the host galaxies fall within the extrapolated spread of the…
We report on ESO--VLT adaptive optics imaging of one radio-loud quasar at z $\sim$ 3. In spite of the large distance of the object we are able to detect its surrounding extended nebulosity the properties of which are consistent with an…
We present multicolour images of the hosts of three z=2 QSOs previously detected in R-band by our group. The luminosities, colours and sizes of the hosts overlap with those of actively star-forming galaxies in the nearby Universe. Radial…
We present H-band observations of gravitationally lensed QSO host galaxies obtained with NICMOS on HST as part of the CfA-Arizona-Gravitational-Lens-Survey (CASTLES). The detections are greatly facilitated by the lensing magnification in…
We present some results from our HST archival image study of 71 QSO host galaxies. The objects are selected to have z < 0.46 and total absolute magnitude M_V < -23 (H_0=50 km/s/Mpc). This initial study investigates host morphology and radio…
We have obtained the first constraints on extended Ly-alpha emission at z ~ 1 in a sample of five radio galaxies. We detect Ly-alpha emission from four of the five galaxies. The Ly-alpha luminosities range from 0.1 - 4 times 10^43 erg/s and…
We discuss 6 GHz JVLA observations covering a volume-limited sample of 178 low redshift ($0.2 < z < 0.3$) optically selected QSOs. Our 176 radio detections fall into two clear categories: (1) About $20$\% are radio-loud QSOs (RLQs) having…
Deep $B$ and $R$ band images (R<24 and B<25) have been obtained of a field of $\sim 6 \times 6$ arcmin around seven radio-loud quasars with $1<z<1.6$. A statistically significant excess of faint ($22.5<B\le 23.5$ and $22<R\le 23.0$)…
We report the first detection of emission line gas within the host galaxies of high redshift QSOs. This was done using narrow-band imaging at the redshifted wavelengths of [O III] and H alpha, using the PUEO adaptive optics camera of the…
We will present the results of a NICMOS H-band imaging survey of a small sample of z ~ 2 to 3 radio-quiet quasars. We have resolved extension in at least 4 of 5 objects and find evidence for a wide range in the morphologies and magnitudes…
We present rest-frame UV and Ly-alpha images of spatially-resolved structures around five high-redshift radio-loud quasars obtained with the WFPC2 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. We find that all five quasars are extended and this…
We have conducted an optical study of the environments of seven radio-loud quasars at redshifts 1<z<1.6. In this paper we describe deep B and R band images obtained for fields of $\sim6\times$6 arcmin around these quasars with 3$\sigma$…
We report an optical detection of an extended structure around a QSO at z=6.43 (CFHQSJ2329-0301, the highest redshift QSO currently known) in deep z' and z_r-band images of the Subaru/Suprime-Cam. After a careful PSF (QSO) subtraction, a…
We present an analysis of X-ray variability in a sample of 156 radio quiet quasars taken from the ROSAT archive, covering a redshift range 0.1 < z < 4.1. A maximum likelihood method is used to constrain the amplitude of variability in these…
