A low-redshift low luminosity QSO sample: Comparison with NUGA galaxies
  and PG QSOs and first interferometric images of three sample members
  The low luminosity QSO (LLQSO) sample consists of type 1 active galactic
nuclei (AGN) up to a redshift of z=0.06 in the Hamburg/ESO QSO survey. Its
purpose is to study how the brightest AGN in the nearby universe evolve with
respect to AGN activity and host properties as a function of redshift. We show
that our sample lies well between the NUclei of GAlaxies (NUGA) sample and the
Palomar Green (PG) QSO sample in terms of redshift, gas masses and luminosities
and seems to connect them. The continuous growth in mass, luminosity and,
linked to this, the AGN activity over the samples has either a statistical
reason or is indicative of an evolutionary link between the different
populations and might be related to cosmic downsizing. In addition, we present
first results of our observations of three galaxies from our sample with the
Submillimeter Array (SMA).
