Do all quasars have host galaxies in them?
Quasars do not have galaxies in them, quasars are at the hearts of galaxies. All quasars are located in galaxies, as a quasar involves massive amounts of material falling into a supermassiv black hole. Neither of these can be found outside of a galaxy.
Why quasars are so bright?
Quasars appear starlike, but each emits more energy than 100 giant galaxies. They are thought to be at the centre of galaxies, their brilliance eminating from the stars and gas falling toward an immense black hole at their nucleus.
Are distant objects in space called quarks or quasars?
quasars
How a quasars are formed?
Quasars are thought to be distant super-massive black holes.
what The largest and brightest galaxies are those that contain _____.?
quasars.
The largest and brightest galaxies are those that contain?
quasars.
Are all quasars galaxies?
A quasar is not a galaxy. A quasar is an intense energy source associated with a supermassive black hole that is actively feeding. All quasars are located at the centers of galaxies.
Describe two key aspects of quasars?
Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.
