Scientific paper

We report the results of a Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey of 29 post-starburst quasars at redshifts between 0.25 and 0.4. The broadband F606W ACS images resolve morphological detail in nearly all targets and indicate that interactions and merger activity are common for this class. Some spectacular images include double nuclei, starbursting ring systems, and nuclear dust rings. The images will be used to constrain spectal modeling to separate AGN and stellar components. We are investigating the hypothesis that post-starburst quasars represent the stage of massive galaxy evolution known as "blow out."
