The Cosmological History of Accretion onto Dark Halos and Supermassive Black Holes
L. Miller, W. J. Percival, S. M. Croom +1
Aims: We investigate the cosmological growth of dark halos and follow the consequences of coeval growth for the accretion history of associated supermassive black holes. Methods: T…
The Cosmological History of Accretion onto Supermassive Black Holes
L. Miller, W. J. Percival, S. M. Croom
It is argued that supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies most likely have grown coevally with their host dark matter halos. A calculation based on Press-Schechter withi…
Imaging of SDSS z>6 quasar fields: gravitational lensing, companion galaxies and the host dark matter halos
Chris J. Willott, Will J. Percival, Ross J. McLure +5
We have undertaken deep optical imaging observations of three 6.2<z<6.5 quasar fields in the i' and z' filters. These data are used to search for foreground galaxies which are grav…
A search for the first massive galaxy clusters
Chris J. Willott, David Crampton, John B. Hutchings +5
We have obtained deep, multi-band imaging observations around three of the most distant known quasars at redshifts z>6. Standard accretion theory predicts that the supermassive bla…
The formation of cluster elliptical galaxies as revealed by extensive star formation
J. A. Stevens, R. J. Ivison, J. S. Dunlop +6
The most massive galaxies in the present-day Universe are found to lie in the centres of rich clusters. They have old, coeval stellar populations suggesting that the bulk of their…
The host galaxies of luminous quasars
D. J. E. Floyd, M. J. Kukula, J. S. Dunlop +5
We present results of a deep HST/WFPC2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z~0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolu…
