The 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 Metal Abundances & Host Galaxy Evolution
Quasars signal a unique phase of galaxy evolution – when massive spheroids are rapidly being assembled, forming stars and growing their central super-massive black holes. Measurements of the metal abundances around quasars provide unique information about these complex evolutionary processes. Here we provide a brief review of the current status and implications of quasar abundance research. The...
متن کاملQuasar Elemental Abundances and Host Galaxy Evolution
High redshift quasars mark the locations where massive galaxies are rapidly being assembled and forming stars. There is growing evidence that quasar environments are metal-rich out to redshifts of at least five. The gas-phase metallicities are typically solar to several times solar, based on independent analyses of quasar broad emission lines and intrinsic narrow absorption lines. These results...
متن کاملThe Host Galaxy of the Lensed Quasar Q 0957+561
Infrared images of the Q 0957+561 gravitational lens obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope show two large (∼5 ′′) lensed images of the z s = 1.41 quasar host galaxy. Parts of the host galaxy are doubly-imaged like the quasar, while other parts are quadruply-imaged. The distortions of the host galaxy offer the best probe yet of the global structure of the lensing potential, which is essential...
متن کاملQuasar host galaxy star formation activity from multicolour data ⋆
We investigate multicolour imaging data of a complete sample of 19 low redshift (z < 0.2) quasar host galaxies. The sample was imaged in four optical (BVRi ) and three near-infrared bands (JHKs). Galaxy types, structural parameters and robust host galaxy luminosities are extracted for all bands by means of two-dimensional deblending of galaxy and nucleus. For the disc dominated fraction of host...
