Quasar Host Environments: The view from Planck
  We measure the far-infrared emission of the general quasar (QSO) population
using Planck observations of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey QSO
sample. By applying multi-component matched multi-filters to the seven highest
Planck frequencies, we extract the amplitudes of dust, synchrotron and thermal
Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signals for nearly 300,000 QSOs over the redshift range
$0.1<z<5$. We bin these individually low signal-to-noise measurements to obtain
the mean emission properties of the QSO population as a function of redshift.
The emission is dominated by dust at all redshifts, with a peak at $z \sim 2$,
the same location as the peak in the general cosmic star formation rate.
Restricting analysis to radio-loud QSOs, we find synchrotron emission with a
monochromatic luminosity at $100\,\rm{GHz}$ (rest-frame) rising from
$\overline{L_{\rm synch}}=0$ to $0.2 \, {\rm L_\odot} {\rm Hz}^{-1}$ between
$z=0$ and 3. The radio-quiet subsample does not show any synchrotron emission,
but we detect thermal SZ between $z=2.5$ and 4; no significant SZ emission is
seen at lower redshifts. Depending on the supposed mass for the halos hosting
the QSOs, this may or may not leave room for heating of the halo gas by
feedback from the QSO.
