  2. Quasar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar

    The Chandra X-ray image is of the quasar PKS 1127-145, a highly luminous source of X-rays and visible light about 10 billion light-years from Earth. An enormous X-ray jet extends at least a million light-years from the quasar. Image is 60 arcseconds on a side. RA 11h 30m 7.10s Dec −14° 49' 27" in Crater. Observation date: May 28, 2000 ...

    RX J1131-1231 is a distant, supermassive-black-hole-containing quasar located about 6 billion light years from Earth in the constellation Crater. [1] [2]In 2014, astronomers found that the X-rays being emitted are coming from a region inside the accretion disk located about three times the radius of the event horizon.

    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. X-ray data shows the energy released from the black hole produces ultra-fast outflows with a velocity of -20,000 km s −1. [5]

    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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markarian_1014

    Markarian 1014 is also one of the brightest quasars classified as a warm ULIRG. It is currently in a transitional phase from a typical ULIRG to an ultraviolet-excessive quasar. [5] It has an X-ray emission measured at 2-10 KeV luminosity of 10 43.80 erg s −1 when exhibiting a molecular outflow. [6]

  7. UHZ1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UHZ1

    UHZ1 is a background galaxy containing a quasar. At a redshift of approximately 10.1, UHZ1 is at a distance of 13.2 billion light-years, seen when our universe was about 3 percent of its current age. [1] [2] This redshift made it the most distant, and therefore earliest known quasar in the observable universe as of 2023.

  8. PKS 2126-158 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKS_2126-158

    In this database, the soft (0.1-2 keV) and hard (2-10 keV) X- ray luminosities of this quasar are found to be (0.7 +/- 0.1)10^48^ erg s^-1^ and (2.3+/-0.3)10^48^ erg s^-1^ respectively. Although, there is no soft excess and low energy absorption have been detected, the thermal bremsstrahlung model is found to fit with the spectrum of PKS 2126 ...

  9. 3C 273 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3C_273

    Its spectrum did not resemble that of any normal stars with typical stellar elements. 3C 273 was the first object to be identified as a quasar—an extremely luminous object at an astronomical distance. 3C 273 is a radio-loud quasar, and was also one of the first extragalactic X-ray sources discovered in 1970. However, even to this day, the ...
