Tiivistelmä
Conclusions. The blue colours are likely caused by a young stellar population component, and indicates a link between star formation caused by an interaction/ merging event and the onset of the nuclear activity. This result is corroborated by stellar population modelling, indicating a presence of young/ intermediate age populations in the majority of the sample, in agreement with low redshift quasar hosts. The lack of strong signs of interaction may require a significant time delay between the event with associated star formation episodes and the start of the nuclear activity.
