Monsters in the dark: Exploring the star-forming hosts of massive, dust-obscured quasars at z~2

  • 1. University of Cambridge

Description

We perform the first  population study of luminous, but  heavily-reddened quasars in the rest-frame UV at z = 1.5 – 2.7 – a peak epoch of both star formation and black hole accretion. We find resolved, blue emission in the DES imaging, consistent with a star forming host galaxy. Via SED fitting, we derive instantaneous SFRs for the sample and find a trend between quasar luminosity and SFR.
