The High Redshift Universe with Adaptive Optics: Recent results from CFHT
نویسنده
چکیده
The CFHT Adaptive Optics Bonnette (AOB) has been used to obtain high spatial resolution (0. 1) observations of several extragalactic targets including the nuclei of nearby galaxies, high redshift galaxies, AGN, radiogalaxies, the host galaxies of quasars and gravitational lenses. Examples of these are discussed and the role of adaptive optics in exploring the high redshift universe is critically assessed in light of these results.

0 Emission line imaging of QSOs with high resolution
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 Hα, using the PUEO adaptive optics camera of the CFHT. The QSOs are all radio-quiet or very compact radio sources. In all five observed QSOs, which have redshifts 0.9 to 2.4, we find extended line emission that li...
متن کاملAdaptive Optics Imaging of the CLASS Gravitational Lens System B1359+154 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.
We present adaptive optics imaging of the CLASS gravitational lens system B1359+154 obtained with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) in the infrared K band. The observations show at least three brightness peaks within the ring of lensed images, which we identify as emission from multiple lensing galaxies. The results confirm the suspected compound nature of the lens, as deduced from prel...

متن کاملThe association between gas and galaxies I: CFHT spectroscopy and pair analysis
We investigate the relative distribution of the gaseous contents of the Universe (as traced by a sample of Lyman α (Ly-α ) absorbers), and the luminous baryonic matter (as traced by a redshift survey of galaxies in the same volume searched for Ly-α absorbers), along 16 lines-of-sight (LOS) between redshifts 0 and 1. Our galaxy redshift survey was made with the Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS) on...
