$^a$ Columns (1) and (2) give the name and the redshift of the object; 
(3) the $K-$correction for 
first-ranked elliptical galaxies from \citet{neug85}, 
interpolated to the redshifts of the RQQs; (4) and (5) the apparent $H$-band nuclear 
and host galaxy magnitude; (6) the effective surface brightness $\mu_{\rm e}$; 
(7) and (8) the bulge scale-length in~arcsec and~kpc; 
(9) and (10) the absolute $H$-band nuclear and host galaxy magnitude; (11) the nucleus/host galaxy luminosity ratio; (12) R~= resolved, 
U~= unresolved; and (13) the ratio of the $\chi^2_{\rm psf+gal}$ and $\chi^2_{\rm psf}$. 
 $^b$ Corrected for cosmological dimming.
 $^c$ The RQQ nuclei are assumed to have power-law spectra with $\alpha\sim-1$ 
and therefore to have negligible $K-$correction.
 $^d$ Corrected for $K-$correction.
