  2. Quasar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasar

    Red quasars are quasars with optical colors that are redder than normal quasars, thought to be the result of moderate levels of dust extinction within the quasar host galaxy. Infrared surveys have demonstrated that red quasars make up a substantial fraction of the total quasar population.

  3. Huge-LQG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huge-LQG

    The Huge-LQG was estimated to be about 1.24 Gpc in length, by 640 Mpc and 370 Mpc on the other dimensions, and contains 73 quasars, respectively. [5] Quasars are very luminous active galactic nuclei, thought to be supermassive black holes feeding on matter. Since they are only found in dense regions of the universe, quasars can be used to find ...

  4. List of quasars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quasars

    Any quasar with z > 1 is receding faster than c, while z exactly equal to 1 indicates recession at the speed of light. [33] Early attempts to explain superluminal quasars resulted in convoluted explanations with a limit of z = 2.326, or in the extreme z < 2.4. [34] The majority of quasars lie between z = 2 and z = 5.

    Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies is a 1987 book by Halton Arp, an astronomer famous for his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966). [1] Arp argued that many quasars with otherwise high redshift are somehow linked to close objects such as nearby galaxies .

  6. Cloverleaf quasar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverleaf_quasar

    This suggests the quasar is currently undergoing an intense wave of star formations thus increasing its luminosity. [3] A radio jet has also been found on the side of quasar according to a study published in 2023. [5] CCD image of the Cloverleaf quasar taken in March 1988 by the ESO/MPI 2.2m telescope. The four separated images are part of the ...

    It was discovered in X-Ray by Varsha Gupta et al. at the Chandra X-Ray observatory [20] It is also notable for being the first case of a quasar being lensed by an almost face-on spiral galaxy. [21] Galaxy MG1654+1346 features a radio ring. The image in the ring is that of a quasar radio lobe, discovered in 1989 by G.Langston et al. [22]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading

    Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of symbols, often specifically those of a written language, by means of sight or touch. [1] [2] [3] [4]For educators and researchers, reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetics, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation.

  9. Large quasar group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_quasar_group

    A large quasar group (LQG) is a collection of quasars (a form of supermassive black hole active galactic nuclei) that form what are thought to constitute the largest astronomical structures in the observable universe. LQGs are thought to be precursors to the sheets, walls and filaments of galaxies found in the relatively nearby universe. [1]
