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 these systems; we find that most hosts of radio-quiet QSOs (RQQ) at z~2 are of modest luminosity (L<L_*). They are 2-5 times fainter than the hosts of radio-loud QSOs at the same epoch. Compared to low redshifts, RQQ hosts at z~2 also support higher nuclear luminosities at given stellar host mass. This suggests that the supermassive black holes at their centers grew faster at early epochs than the stellar body of their surrounding host galaxies.
We present the analysis of a sample of 20 bright low-redshift quasars (M_B<-23 and z < 0.35) observed spectroscopically with the VLT. The FORS1 spectra, obtained in Multi Object Spectroscopy (MOS) mode, allow to observe simultaneously the quasars and
We study the morphological and structural properties of the host galaxies associated with 57 optically-selected luminous type 2 AGN at $zsim$0.3-0.4: 16 high-luminosity Seyfert 2 (HLSy2, 8.0$le$log($L_{rm [OIII]}/L_{odot})<$8.3) and 41 obscured quasa
We investigate the relation between star formation rates ($dot{M}_{s}$) and AGN properties in optically selected type 1 quasars at $2<z<3$ using data from Herschel and the SDSS. We find that $dot{rm{M}}_s$ remains approximately constant with redshift
We present new X-ray observations of luminous heavily dust-reddened quasars (HRQs) selected from infrared sky surveys. HRQs appear to be a dominant population at high redshifts and the highest luminosities, and may be associated with a transitional b
The discovery of luminous quasars at redshifts up to 7.5 demonstrates the existence of several billion M_sun supermassive black holes (SMBHs) less than a billion years after the Big Bang. They are accompanied by intense star formation in their host g
