Scientific paper

What are the factors that determine whether a galaxy is host to a luminous QSO? Recent evidence indicates that host galaxy spheroid mass is a key factor: we want to test the relationship between host galaxy and QSO luminosity at the highest feasible QSO luminosities by measuring the luminosities and profiles of host galaxies for QSOs with -25.8 > M_V > -27.6. Current data in this area are conflicting, and we aim to make a definitive experiment that takes careful account of problems caused by extended line or continuum emission around QSOs, relativistic beaming, gravitational lensing and galaxy interactions.
