Quasar Feedback Survey Launched

I am delighted to introduce our Quasar Feedback Survey (https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/quasarfeedbacksurvey/) a multi-wavelength study of how quasars interact with their host galaxies. With this first paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.00014) we use high-resolution VLA imaging to discover that hidden radio AGN are prevalent, and demonstrate a connection between the radio properties and the ionised gas kinematics. This all shows the importance of studying the radio emission, even in “radio quiet”, quasar hosts to understand feedback. With the launch of our website we have also released data products from this paper and our earlier pilot papers on sub-sets of the targets. These include data tables, radio images, data cubes etc.
