Abstract

We present the results of a deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 imaging study of 17 quasars at z a?? 0.4, designed to determine the properties of their host galaxies. The sample consists of quasars with absolute magnitudes in the range -24 a?Y Mv a?Y -28, allowing us to investigate host galaxy properties across a decade in quasar luminosity, but at a single redshift. Our previous imaging studies of active galactic nuclei hosts have focused primarily on quasars of moderate luminosity, but the most powerful objects in the current sample have powers comparable to the most luminous quasars found at high redshifts.
