    Radio-loud quasars are quasars with powerful jets that are strong sources of radio-wavelength emission. These make up about 10% of the overall quasar population. [62] Radio-quiet quasars are those quasars lacking powerful jets, with relatively weaker radio emission than the radio-loud population. The majority of quasars (about 90%) are radio-quiet.

    PKS 0438-436, also known as PKS J0440-4333, is a quasar located in constellation Caelum.With a high redshift of 2.86, [1] the object is located 11.2 billion light-years from Earth [2] and is classified as a blazar due to its flat-spectrum radio source, [3] (in terms of the flux density as (F v ~ V-a) with α < 0.5 and its optical polarization.

    The name comes from the shape of the extended emission, which is shaped like the handle of a teacup. ... Most distant radio-quasar. [48] [74] SDSS J160253.98+422824.9 ...

    It is likely the interaction has given rise to its quasar activity as interstellar dust and gas are supplied to the galaxy's nucleus. Additionally, IRAS 13349+2438 shows increasing high optical polarization at declining wavebands. [4] [5] It is a radio-quiet quasar despite weak radio emission being reported at 6 GHz. [6] [7]

    [9] [10] The radio emission from the quasar underwent rotation of linear polarization during these events, lending support to the idea of scintillation. [11] A scattering medium at a distance of 3–30 pc would explain these observations, bringing the modelled peak brightness temperature down to a more plausible 2.0 × 10 13 K.

    An image of the nebula extending across two million light-years discovered around UM 287. UM 287 is classified as a radio-quiet quasar. It has a bolometric brightness of around 10 47.3 erg /s (10 40 watts), making it one of the brightest quasars ever observed. [3]

    They confirmed a small mass for the black hole, implying an even fainter host galaxy than predicted by Merritt et al. (3) Feain et al. (2007) [8] detected radio emission from the quasar, which they interpreted as indicating ongoing star formation, which "contradicts any suggestion that this is a 'naked' quasar'".

  9. 4C +09.17 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4C_+09.17

    4C +09.17 is classified a radio-loud quasar, measured from its narrow-line region, with a bolometric luminosity of 2.88 × 10 46 erg s −1. [4] It has a one-sided jet extending southwest, with its bright core emission associated with the quasar's optical emission location. 4C +09.17 is also very bright at infrared wavelengths as observed by Podigachoski et al. (2015).
