In these objects we expect both powerful AGN feedback and galaxy mergers to manifest themselves in full force. We are finding in LBT/LUCI near infrared data that they are composed by two populations showing powerful mutually exclusive outflows in [OIII] and CIV. Interestingly they seem to show a dichotomy in their X-ray luminosities. Furthermore a HST-WFC3 follow-up of a WISSH quasar with [OIII] outflows show no sign of galaxy mergers. We propose here Chandra (280 ks) and HST (6 orbits) observations of WISSH quasars with the aim of establishing whether the two populations are linked to: (i) different quasar X-ray output and (ii) distinct host dynamical state. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ We observe the two accepted targets in our program with WFC3-IR and the F160W filter which, for the redshift of our targets (z~3.4), covers the region of the 4000A break. The requested exposure time is one orbit. We will perform a four point box dither pattern and use STEP sequences. The target is a point source (a quasar) and the main goal of the observations is to detect its faint host galaxy. The observing strategy is the same we used in our previous program 14908 to observe another QSO at a similar redshift. For J123641.45 (Visit 1) we use a STEP100 sequence to better take advantage of the longer orbit visibility of this target. For Visit 2 we use STEP200, as in 14908. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15375( 2) - 12-Dec-2018 21:42:44 - [ 2] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 J123641.45+6 GALAXY, QSO RA=12H36M41.4000S, J2000 V = 17.8 55442.1 DEC=+65D54'42.10" Reference Frame: ICRS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 J095841.21+2 GALAXY, QSO RA=09H58M41.2000S, J2000 V = 18.5 82729.5 DEC=+28D27'29.50" Reference Frame: ICRS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15375( 2) -
