Quasar - galaxy associations ?
There is controversy about the measurement of statistical associations between bright quasars and faint, presumably foreground galaxies. We look at the distribution of galaxies around an unbiased sample of 63 bright, moderate redshift quasars using a new statistic based on the separation of the quasar and its nearest neighbour galaxy. We nd a signiicant excess of close neighbours at separations...
متن کاملThe Counter Arc to MS1512-cB58 and a Companion Galaxy
We present near-infrared spectra of “A2”, the primary counter arc to the gravitationally lensed galaxy MS1512-cB58. The spectra show redshifted Hα, [NII], [OIII], and Hβ at z = 2.728± 0.001. We observe the same Hα/[OIII] ratio as cB58, which together with the redshift confirms that A2 is indeed another image of a single background galaxy. Published lensing reconstruction reports that A2 is a ma...
متن کاملDetection of a Companion Lens Galaxy using the Mid-infrared Flux Ratios of the Gravitationally Lensed Quasar H1413+117
We present the first resolved mid-IR (11μm) observations of the four-image quasar lens H1413+117 using the Michelle camera on Gemini North. All previous observations (optical, near-IR, and radio) of this lens show a “flux anomaly,” where the image flux ratios cannot be explained by a simple, central lens galaxy. We attempt to reproduce the mid-IR flux ratios, which are insensitive to extinction...
متن کاملThe Host Galaxy of the Quasar
A recent study suggests that the quasar HE 0450−2958 is hosted by a galaxy substantially fainter than that inferred from the correlation between black hole mass and bulge luminosity. As this result has significant bearings on galaxy and black hole evolution, we revisit the issue by performing an independent analysis of the data, using a two-dimensional image fitting technique. We indeed find no...
متن کاملQuasar induced galaxy formation : a new paradigm ?
Aims. We discuss observational evidence that quasars play a key role in the formation of galaxies starting from the detailed study of the quasar HE0450−2958 and extending the discussion to a series of converging evidence that radio jets may trigger galaxy formation. Methods. We use mid infrared imaging with VISIR at the ESO-VLT, model the mid to far infrared energy distribution of the system an...
