Are quasars the most unusual type of active galaxy?

Quasars are the unusual type of active galaxy in the universe.


Which was discovered most recently DNA atomic power radio waves or pulsars and quasars?

pulsar and quasars


What type of energy do quasars give off?

Quasar actually means quasi-stellar radio sources so we thought that it was giving off radio waves but we did not put into account the redshift that causes the stretching of the wavelength meaning that it most likely gives off microwaves.


How long have most quasars that are very distant implies that they were formed?

The fact that most quasars are very distant means they were like that when the Universe was quite a bit younger than it is today.


Describe two key aspects of quasars?

Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.


Why do quasars exist?

Well, we don't really know how they are formed, the most likely explanation is: Quasars are formed by enormous redshifts in a star which gives it, it's energy.


What are two keys aspects of quasars?

There the most brightest and distant objects.


What are the most powerful energy sources in the universe?

I guess that would be quasars. A quasar is a small region in a young galaxy, that can emit perhaps 100 times the energy of an entire (present-day) galaxy. Quasars were a common feature in the early Universe. It is currently believed they were fueled by gigantic black holes.


What are quasars and where are they found in the universe?

All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away. Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so. See related link for more information.


What is a super heated quasar?

Quasars or quasi-stellar radio sources are the most energetic and distant members of a class of objects called active galactic nuclei (AGN). Quasars are extremely luminous and were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light, that appeared to be similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies. They cannot escape a black hole. Only Hawking Radiation can escape a black hole.


Do Quasers emit light?

Yes, quasars are the most luminous objects in the universe.


Where does the energy emitted by AGN and quasars most likely originate?

A Supernova Explosion
