Spectroscopy of the fuzz associated with four quasarsThe spectral features detected in the fuzz of four probable quasars spanning the z range of 0.036-0.37 are reported; the objects studied are 0351 + 026 (z = 0.036), 1059 + 730 (z = 0.089), 0845 + 378 (z = 0.307), and 3C 48 (z = 0.368). The results indicate that apparently some (and probably all) low-redshift quasars are embedded in fuzz whose size, morphology, absolute magnitude, and spectroscopic character are those of a galaxy. Thus, it appears virtually certain that quasars are the active nuclei of galaxies.
