The host galaxies of low luminosity quasars at high redshift
J. K. Kotilainen, R. Falomo, A. Treves +1
We present VLT/ISAAC near-infrared imaging of the host galaxies of 15 low luminosity quasars at 1 < z < 2. This work complements our studies to trace the cosmological evolution of…

The evolution of Radio Loud Quasar host galaxies: AO observations at z = 3
R. Falomo, J. K. Kotilainen, R. Scarpa +2
We report on ESO--VLT adaptive optics imaging of one radio-loud quasar at z 3. In spite of the large distance of the object we are able to detect its surrounding extended ne…

Imaging redshifts of BL Lac objects
B. Sbarufatti, A. Treves, R. Falomo
The HST snapshot imaging survey of 110 BL Lac objects (Urry et al. 2000) has clearly shown that the host galaxies are massive and luminous ellipticals. The dispersion of the absolu…
