Compass Image for Dust-Reddened Quasars
Redshifts: Between 1.7 and 2.3
Data were obtained from the HST proposals 12942, PI: E. Glikman (Middlebury College) et al.
The science team comprises:T E. Glikman (Middlebury College), B. Simmons (University of Oxford), M. Mailly (Middlebury College), K. Schawinski (Institute for Astronomy, ETH Zurich), C.M. Urry (Yale University), and M. Lacy (NRAO Charlottesville).
F105W (Y), F125W (J), and F160W (H)
These images are composites of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are:
Blue: F105W (Y) or F125W (J),
Orange: F160W (H)
