    The jet has been found to emit X-rays, up until 0.2 arcseconds from a radio hot spot, which could be in reality a bend of the jet. [ 5 ] The components of the jet have been found to move by about 0.25–0.42 mas, which at the distance of the jet represent apparent speeds that are 5 to 15 times faster than the speed of light .

    PKS 1510-089 is a blazar [1] located in the constellation of Libra, categorized as a highly polarized quasar [2] showing fast variations in polarization angles, [3] with a redshift of (z) 0.361. [4] It was first discovered in 1966 as an astronomical radio source during the Parkes Observatory survey in 1966.

  6. Blazar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazar

    A blazar is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a relativistic jet (a jet composed of ionized matter traveling at nearly the speed of light) directed very nearly towards an observer. Relativistic beaming of electromagnetic radiation from the jet makes blazars appear much brighter than they would be if the jet were pointed in a direction away ...

    PKS 0420-014 is a blazar [1] located in the constellation of Eridanus. This is a high polarized quasar [2] [3] with a redshift of (z) 0.915, [4] first discovered as an astronomical radio source by astronomers in 1975. [5] The radio spectrum of this source appears to be flat, making it a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FRSQ). [6] [7]

    PKS 0537-286 (referred to QSO 0537-286), also known as QSO B0537-286, is a quasar located in the constellation Columba. With a redshift of 3.104, the object is located 11.4 billion light years away [1] and belongs to the flat spectrum radio quasar blazar subclass (FSQR). [2] It is one of the most luminous known high-redshift quasars. [3]

    3C 279 (also known as 4C–05.55, NRAO 413, and PKS 1253–05) is an optically violent variable quasar (OVV), which is known in the astronomical community for its variations in the visible, radio and X-ray bands. [2] The quasar was observed to have undergone a period of extreme activity from 1987 until 1991. [3]
