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.
Quasar is an American brand of electronics, first used by Motorola in 1967 for a model line of transistorized color televisions. These TVs were marketed as containing all serviceable parts in a drawer beside the picture tube. It was then established as a subsidiary brand, with all Motorola-manufactured televisions being sold as Quasar by Motorola.
CTA 102, also known by its B1950 coordinates as 2230+114 (QSR B2230+114) and its J2000 coordinates as J2232+1143 (QSO J2232+1143), is a blazar-type quasar discovered in the early 1960s by a radio survey carried out by the California Institute of Technology. [3]
As a measure of light emitted per unit area, this unit is frequently used to specify the brightness of a display device. The sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 cd/m 2 . [ 3 ] Typically, monitors calibrated for SDR broadcast or studio color grading should have a brightness of 100 cd/m 2 . [ 4 ]
In the (2880)x480i case, the number of pixels on each line, and thus the number of times that they are repeated, is variable, and is sent to the DTV monitor by the source device. Increased Hactive expressions include “2x” and “4x” indicate two and four times the reference resolution, respectively.
3C 273 is a quasar located at the center of a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. It was the first quasar ever to be identified and is the visually brightest quasar in the sky as seen from Earth, with an apparent visual magnitude of 12.9. [2] The derived distance to this object is 749 megaparsecs (2.4 billion light-years).
Both colours of a character cell must share their brightness property, because there is only a single brightness bit for the entire cell. Besides that limitation, any combination of the palette colours can be freely selected as the two colours of a character cell. In the following table, all the "bright" colours are given in the right column.
This quasar's luminosity is, therefore, about 4 trillion (4 × 10 12) times that of the Sun, or about 100 times that of the total light of giant galaxies like the Milky Way. [49] This assumes that the quasar is radiating energy in all directions, but the active galactic nucleus is believed to be radiating preferentially in the direction of its jet.
