Scientific paper

We will obtain deep WFPC2 images of bright, nearby quasars to investigate the optical morphology of their host galaxies. The high angular resolution of HST will allow one to perform a number of quantitative measurements of the morphology and luminosities of host galaxies. The proposed HST observations will reveal the relationship between the properties of the host galaxy and quasar luminosity (both optical and radio), and how quasar host galaxies differ from field or cluster galaxies. The sample consists of 13 quasars with z < 0.3, M_V < -23 (Ho = 100), and |b| > 35. Each quasar will be imaged in a Wide Field Camera CCD through the F606W filter. The objects in this proposal span a range of quasar luminosities (up to M_V of -24.5; Ho = 100) and redshifts (0.09 < z < 0.265). Three of the 13 quasars are radio-loud; the combined GTO/GO sample of 22 objects contains six radio-loud quasars.
