Scientific paper

Ground-based, near-infrared imaging of nearby quasars has indicated a relation between the luminosity of the nucleus and the luminous mass of the host galaxy. Specifically, for the most luminous quasars there is a minimum required host mass that increases with nuclear luminosity. The limitations of ground-based images preclude a detailed understanding of this relationship, which could provide important clues to the role of the AGN phenomenon in galaxy evolution. However, the superb spatial resolution and low background characterizing NICMOS images will allow the first detailed study of this issue. We propose to obtain 1.6micron images of 16 luminous quasars with 0.2
