The object itself was detected in ESO images dating back to 1980, but its identification as a quasar occurred only several decades later. [2]An automated analysis of 2022 data from the European Space Agency's Gaia satellite did not confirm J0529-4351 as too bright to be a quasar, and suggested it was a 16th magnitude star with a 99.98% probability.
Markarian 231 is undergoing an energetic starburst.A nuclear ring at the center has an active rate of star formation of greater than 100 solar masses per year. It is one of the most ultraluminous infrared galaxies, with power derived from an accreting black hole in the center forming the closest known quasar.
RX J1131-1231 is the name of the complex, quasar, host galaxy and lensing galaxy, together. The quasar's host galaxy is also lensed into a Chwolson ring about the lensing galaxy. The four images of the quasar are embedded in the ring image. Cloverleaf: 4 [3] Brightest known high-redshift source of CO emission [4] QSO B1359+154: 6
APM 08279+5255 was initially identified as a quasar in 1998 during an Automatic Plate Measuring Facility (APM) survey to find carbon stars in the galactic halo.The combination of its high redshift (z=3.87) and brightness (particularly in the infrared) made it the most luminous object yet seen in the universe.

OQ 172 (OHIO Q 172) is a quasar [1] located in the constellation of Boötes. It has a redshift of (z) 3.544, [2] making it one of the most distant quasars at the time of its discovery by astronomers in 1973. [3] This object was the record holder for almost a decade, before being surpassed by PKS 2000-330 in 1982 located at the redshift of (z) 3 ...
The ULAS J1342+0928 quasar is located in the Boötes constellation. [3] The related supermassive black hole is reported to be "780 million times the mass of the Sun". [5] At its discovery, it was the most distant known quasar. In 2021 it was eclipsed by QSO J0313-1806 as the most distant quasar. [8]
Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...
