Scientific paper

We have used the 2MASS near-infrared and FIRST radio surveys, together with the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey plates to select a sample of dust-reddened, radio-intermediate quasars. We wish to use ACS to study the host galaxies of these quasars. The dust reddening of the quasars makes it possible to study the hosts at rest-frame optical-UV wavelengths much more easily than the hosts of normal quasars of similar bolometric luminosity. Our study will compare the hosts of our dust-reddened quasars to those of normal quasars from the HST archive to test the hypothesis that dust-reddened quasars are young objects, whose hosts still show morphological evidence of recent merger events which triggered the quasar.
