Current status & knowledge • COSMOS: ~50 resolved type 1 QSO hosts • GEMS: ~45 resolved (with optical colour) • Sanchez et al. 2004 • Jahnke et al. 2004 • Jahnke et al. (in prep) • Others: Kukula/Dunlop et al., Hutchings et al., Falomo et al., Kuhlbrodt et al. (at high z, 1–10 objects each)
GEMS & ground based colours B&C03 (solar) disk dominated bulge dominated undecided
GEMS z=0.7 Kormendy relation z=0.7 z=0
COSMOS+GEMS: homogeneous inactive comparison samples z=0.6 z=1.0
Radio detected COSMOS+GEMS combined
Results • BL QSO host galaxies span colour range from reddish to blue contribution of young stars • Bulge-dominated and elliptical hosts can be substantially bluer than inactive counterparts • Confirmed for z=0 to 1.1 (SDSS+HES+GEMS) • Merger/distortion fraction seems increased (to be tested!) • Moderate to substantial SF at z~2, similar to LBGs • Radio selected QSO hosts @z=1 are more luminous than optically selected
Diagnostic power • Differential host galaxy evolution compared to inactive galaxies • Influence of interaction on QSO activity (from merger fraction) • Test unified model for AGN from radio loud—quiet & type 1—type 2 comparison (luminosities, morphology) • QSO host galaxy parent population • With 2nd COSMOS HST band: spectrum of interaction strength triggering AGN activity (7/120 QSOs with NICMOS data)
TBD • Full sample definition and selection description • Time variable PSF • 2d modelling + peak subtraction • Morphology analysis (Galfit et al.), direct comparison to inactive sample • Analysis of radio properties
