A team of researchers led by York University Associate Professor Patrick Hall has discovered some strange behaviour occurring in distant galaxies, observing several cases of gas that is “falling” into ...

With the help of machine-learning techniques, a team of astronomers has discovered a dozen quasars that have been warped by a naturally occurring cosmic “lens” and split into four similar images.

Astronomers have discovered a double-record-breaking pair of quasars. Not only are they the most distant pair of merging quasars ever found, but also the only pair confirmed in the bygone era of the ...

Observations confirm astronomers' expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam's exceptionally wide field of view and special ...

In a groundbreaking study published on arXiv, astronomers from Seoul National University, South Korea, and collaborators across the globe have uncovered 62 new luminous quasars as part of the All-sky ...

An international team of astronomers has uncovered subtle but significant signs that the cosmic engines powering quasars, some of the universe’s brightest objects, may have evolved over billions of ...

NASA, ESA, CSA, J. Matthee (ISTA), R. Mackenzie (ETH Zurich), D. Kashino (National Observatory of Japan), S. Lilly (ETH Zurich) A new study uses spectroscopy to separate and study baby quasars.

University of Colorado Boulder astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say “sideline quasars” likely teamed up with it to heat abundant ...

An infographic explaining the creation of a new map of around 1.3 million quasars from across the visible universe. Astronomers have charted the largest-ever volume of the universe with a new map of ...

Compelling evidence that the structure of matter surrounding supermassive black holes has changed over cosmic time has been uncovered by an international team of astronomers. If true, the research led ...

"Targeted searches will be up to seven times more likely to find gravitational waves from a supermassive black hole binary in a quasar than in a random massive galaxy." When you purchase through links ...
