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
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]
A magnetar's 10 10 tesla field, by contrast, has an energy density of 4.0 × 10 25 J/m 3, with an E/c 2 mass density more than 10,000 times that of lead. The magnetic field of a magnetar would be lethal even at a distance of 1,000 km due to the strong magnetic field distorting the electron clouds of the subject's constituent atoms, rendering ...
The first true quadruple quasar system was discovered in 2015 at a redshift z = 2.0412 and has an overall physical scale of about 200 kpc (roughly 650,000 light-years). [ 74 ] A multiple-image quasar is a quasar whose light undergoes gravitational lensing , resulting in double, triple or quadruple images of the same quasar.
DA 193 is a blazar [1] located in the constellation of Auriga. It has a high redshift of 2.365. [2] [3] It was first discovered as an unknown astronomical radio source in 1971 by D.G. MacDonell and A.H. Bridle. [4] This is a low polarized quasar [5] containing a classic homogeneous synchrotron self-absorption spectrum. [6]
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 1127-145 is a radio-loud quasar [1] located in the constellation of Crater. This is a Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum object [2] [3] with a redshift of (z) 1.187, [4] first discovered by astronomers in 1966. [5] Its radio spectrum appears to be flat making it a flat-spectrum radio quasar, or an FRSQ in short. [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]
