Using data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered alignments between supermassive black hole axes separated by billions of light-years. New observations with ESO’s…
New research helps solve a quasar mystery that astronomers have been puzzling over for 20 years, presenting a pathway to a better understanding of how…
Using 140,000 distant quasars, astronomers from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have made the most precise measurement to date of the expanding Universe. The Baryon…
Using the Keck I Telescope, a team of astronomers viewed part of the network of filaments thought to connect galaxies in a cosmic web. Astronomers…
This newly released Hubble image shows quasar 3C 273, which resides in a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. This image from…
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, astronomers have discovered a new type of quasar in which gas appears to be heading away and…
Astronomers use quasars in a technique known as Delta-Differential One-Way Ranging to help achieve precise navigation of spacecraft in deep-space. Deep-space missions require precise navigation,…
Scientists view a rare multiple quasar imaging event caused by the effects of a cloud of ionized gas in the Milky Way Galaxy. For the…
In a newly published study, physics students from the Niels Bohr Institute report the discovery of a quasar whose light has been deflected and reflected…
Using data from the Southern African Large Telescope and NASA’s WISE, astrophysicists documented the immense power of quasar radiation, seeing for the first time the…
Research presented at the 2013 RAS National Astronomy Meeting describes a new quasar microlensing technique that should allow astronomers to better map out the internal…
By improving an algorithm that is important for studying quasars, astrophysicists determined the radio and optical luminosity evolutions for a set of more than 5000…
A newly published study from astronomers at the University of Colorado Boulder suggests that distant quasars teamed up to stifle the formation of small galaxies…
By combining telescope observations with advanced modeling, astronomers have found a rare triple quasar, called QQQ J1519+062. For only the second time in history, a…
At 4 billion light-years in length, the Large Quasar Group (LQG) is the largest known structure in the universe and is some 1600 times larger…
Scientists have discovered a quasar that is at least five times more powerful than any that has been observed to date. Data reveals that a…
