HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE - Continuing to collect World Class Science DAILY REPORT # 4212 PERIOD COVERED: UT October 03, 2006 (DOY 276) OBSERVATIONS SCHEDULED ACS/WFC 10848 Relating the host galaxies of type-2 quasars to their infrared properties The obscured quasar population has been found to consist of a wide variety of objects. In this proposal, we wish to study the host galaxies of six z~0.6 type-2 quasars selected via their mid- infrared emission. Infrared spectra and photometry of these objects show th ...Continue Reading

Prior to HST UV spectroscopy, they could only be studied from the ground at redshifts z>1.65. However, HST has now permitted us to discover 41 DLAs at z 2.3 along the lines of sight. The survey has thr ...Continue Reading
