摘要
We have observed a sample of 7 luminous QSOs in the redshift range z = 1.8-2.9 selected from the Hamburg/ESO survey (HES). The aim of this study is to detect the galaxies that host the quasar and to estimate luminosities, colours, and stellar masses of the host galaxies. We were able to resolve the host galaxy around HE 2355-5457 and HE 2348-1444, both located at z=2.9, in two bands. These data will shed light on the link between host galaxy and nuclear components of massive galaxies at high-redshifts. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
