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 ...

An international team of astronomers have employed the Spektr-RG spacecraft and various ground-based telescopes to investigate a distant quasar known as ID830. Results of the new observations, ...

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 ...

of abundant interstellar gas and high rates of star formation. Redshift 2, at which time the number of quasars was at a maximum. “The higher number of quasars seen when the universe was younger can ...

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories have discovered a pair of gravitationally-bound quasars inside two merging galaxies. Quasars are active and luminous types of ...

Plenty of groups have been theorizing about primordial black holes (PBHs) recently. That is in part because of their candidacy as a potential source of dark matter. But, if they existed, they also had ...

P172+18 is the most distant radio-loud quasar ever found. It could teach us how galaxies form and evolve. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, ...

Quasars, or short for quasi-stellar objects, are intensely luminous cores of distant galaxies powered by supermassive black holes. These objects are not only some of the brightest in the universe but ...

It is the greatest disappearing act in the universe. Quasars—luminous beacons powered by ravenous supermassive black holes at the cores of distant galaxies—have been caught vanishing, sometimes fading ...
