Descripción
We propose a systematic study of the environments of a representative
sample of Radio Loud Quasars (RLQ) and Radio Quiet Quasars (RQQ) in two
different redshift ranges: z˜3.1 and z˜4. These redshift
ranges are optimal for the study of environment evolution in the early
universe. Furthermore, the sample of RLQ and RQQ are designed to
disentangle the role of galactic interactions in the radio emission
phenomenon, and thus, to test the unified model for AGN. Using the
GRANTECAN-OSIRIS tunable filters (TF) we expect to build up a
distribution function for the emission line galaxies around each quasar.
We assume that emission and non-emission line galaxies have similar
distributions. This assumption along with photometric redshifts
observations will allow us to discriminate between galaxies associated
with quasars and field galaxies.
