Is a quasar is a galaxy shaped like a flattened ball?
It could be, but the definition quasi-star depends on the radiation output, NOT the shape.
What is a quasar and what does it have to do with a black hole?
A quasar is a galaxy that is radiating massive amount of radioactive energy. A quasar MAY have a black hole at it's center. A black hole is just dead star that collapsed in on itself.
How does a quasar work?
A quasar is believed to have a supermassive black hole at its center. The radiation is emitted outside the black hole's event horizon - from matter that is falling into the black hole.
What is the size of a quasar that emits an enormous amount of energy from within a region?
I said SIZE! Look in the dicussion for your answers. Choose one!
How much energy do quasar give off?
50% energy
What does the energy emitted by a quasar suggest?
Note: Power is energy per unit time. The quick variation in the power output implies that it must come from a region that is only a few light-days or light-hours across - in other words, much smaller than a galaxy.The amount of power emitted (much more than an entire normal galaxy!), combined with the fact that this power output is sustained for a long time, suggest that none of the previously-known mechanisms - such as nuclear fusion from a regular star - can be involved in producing that amount of power.
What types of electromagnetic is emitted in quasar?
As material falls into a Quasar, it emits much of the electromagnetic spectrum. As material is just about to pass the event horizon, cosmic rays (the most energic electromagnetic waves we know of) are released.
What is a star like source of energy in the center of a galaxy?
quasar
Which object releases more energy that 100 galaxies?
A quasar does that.
The primary source of a quasar's energy is chemical energy nuclear energy gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy
What is a very bright star like object that generates immense energy?
A supernova explosion releases greatly more energy than our Sun in its entire lifetime.
Object at the center of some galaxies that produces energy at a high rate?
Quasar
