Totally Awesome Hubble Images!

I've mentioned new Hubble Space Telescope images. The first three from my current project are here. This will be expanded later this month (we've got seven images so far). The web link shows the ground-based Sloan images on the left, the HST images on the right, and the spectrum on the bottom. All post-starburst quasars were selected spectroscopically based on evidence for having an active nucleus (broad emission lines) and a massive stellar population (Balmer absorption lines).
