Quasars: Host Galaxies and Gravitational
Lenses
|
This workshop is concerned with quasar studies along two lines.
The nature and evolution of quasar host galaxies will be considered:
their stellar and gazeous content, their dynamics and the interaction
between the central AGN and its surrounding medium will be addressed,
on the basis of a variety of observations. The current models
will also be discussed.
Quasars will also be considered in their role as light sources in the
gravitational lensing phenomenon. Various applications of quasar
lensing will be considered: microlensing, dark matter studies,
cosmological applications...
