An X-ray jet has been discovered in PKS 1127-145 by Chandra X-ray Observatory. [16] With an estimated length of 300 kiloparsecs, this makes the longest one detected so far in any of the high redshift quasars. [17] Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer also revealed a complex structure in the X-ray jet from the core with bright knots of different ...
See also: Quasar, List of quasars 3C 454.3 is a blazar (a type of quasar with a jet oriented toward Earth ) located away from the galactic plane . It is one of the brightest gamma ray sources in the sky, [ 2 ] and is one of the most luminous astronomical object ever observed, with a maximum absolute magnitude of -31.4. [ 3 ]
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 . [ 6 ]
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]
PKS 0208-512 is a blazar [1] located in the southern constellation of Eridanus.It has a redshift of 1.003 [2] and was first discovered in 1975 by astronomers conducting the Parkes 2700 MHz survey in Australia as a bright astronomical radio source. [3]
Twin Quasar: 1979 Lensed into 2 images The lens is a galaxy known as YGKOW G1: First quasar found with a jet with apparent superluminal motion 3C 279: 1971 [25] [26] [27] First quasar found with the classic double radio-lobe structure 3C 47: 1964 First quasar found to be an X-ray source 3C 273: 1967 [39] First "dustless" quasar found
Artist's rendering of the accretion disc in ULAS J1120+0641, a very distant quasar containing a supermassive black hole with a mass two billion times that of the Sun [1] 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 ...
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 ...
