Can a quasar obliterate an entire planet?
Quite easily. If a planet were anywhere near a quasar source, it would not last very long.
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.
The primary source of a quasar's energy is chemical energy nuclear energy gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy
When was Twin Quasar created?
Twin Quasar was created in 1979.
How do you measure the size of a black hole?
The size of a quasar can be inferred from the timescale of variations in its light output. Assuming that no signal can travel across the source faster than the speed of light, the time scale of the fastest variations sets an upper limit on the size of the quasar (i.e., size quals approximately the variation timescale times speed of light). An alternative method called 'reverberation mapping' monitors changes in the quasar's light output, then looks for these same changes in the light output from specific spectral lines. The delay times the speed of light gives the size of the quasar.
What words are contracted in the word quasar?
The word quasar is short for quasi-stellar radio source.
What is the root word for quasar?
The root word for "quasar" is "quasi-stellar," which comes from "quasi" meaning resembling or seeming to be and "stellar" relating to stars.
What is a star like source of energy in the center of a galaxy?
quasar
Can a quasar obliterate an entire planet?
Quite easily. If a planet were anywhere near a quasar source, it would not last very long.
Star-like source of light that is extremely far from the earth?
Quasar
By what name is a quasi-stellar radio source better known?
Quasar
What in space is a strong source of radio waves it starts with q?
Are you thinking of a "quasar" ?
What is a double radio source seen along one axis of a jet called?
Quasar
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.
What does the word quasar stand for?
The word quasar refers to a quasi-stellar radio source. Quasars are astronomical bodies that produce vast amounts of energy. The first Quasars have been discovered in the late 1950s.
What is a stellar source of periodic radio signals called?
A stellar source of periodic radio signals is called quasar. This runs off of radio waves.
Is Quasar 247 a true quasar?
It is not.
