Spitzer observations of the field of the hyperluminous quasar HE0515-4414
Abstract
We have used unique, ultradeep ALMA 140GHz data to obtain a tentative first direct detection of a thermal quasar wind via the SZ effect. We are requesting Spitzer time to image the environment of the quasar. In particular, we will map the galaxy distribution in the vicinity of our tentative detection of the quasar wind to rule out any contribution to the SZ decrement due to an intracluster or intragroup medium associated with a compact cluster or group of galaxies around the quasar or along the line of sight. In addition, the data will be used to quantify the environment of one of the most luminous quasars known, as well as study the serendipitous ALMA sources in the field, the deepest ever at this frequency.
