On the frequency of star-forming galaxies in the vicinity of powerful AGNs: The case of SMM J04135+10277

• Context. In the last decade several massive molecular gas reservoirs were found 108M, and 0.3% have at least one highly star-forming companion (SFR> 100 M yr-1). Conclusions. Our results suggest that quasar-gas-rich companion galaxy systems are common phenomena in the early Universe and the high incidence of companions makes the study of such systems crucial to understand the growth and hierarchical build-up of galaxies and black holes.
