Abstract
Correlations between the mass of a supermassive black hole and the properties\nof its host galaxy (e.g., total stellar mass (M*), luminosity (Lhost)) suggest\nan evolutionary connection. A powerful test of a co-evolution scenario is to\nmeasure the relations MBH-Lhost and MBH-M* at high redshift and compare with\nlocal estimates. For this purpose, we acquired HST imaging with WFC3 of 32\nX-ray-selected broad-line AGN at 1.2
