MAJOR MERGERS HOST THE MOST-LUMINOUS RED QUASARS AT<i>z</i>∼ 2: A<i>HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE</i>WFC3/IR STUDY

We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared camera to image the host galaxies of a sample of 11 luminous, dust-reddened quasars at —the peak epoch of black hole growth and star formation in the universe—to test the merger-driven picture for the coevolution of galaxies …
