Quasars are thought to be galactic black holes which are releasing focused energy from an accretion disk. The temperature could be as high as hundreds of millions of kelvins, but is detected due to its extremely high luminosity.

Yes. Quasars are the size of the solar system.


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.


What is the average temperature of a quasar?

The average temperature of a quasar can range from millions to billions of degrees Kelvin. Quasars are extremely hot and energetic objects powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.

Are quasars the most unusual type of active galaxy?

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


Why are there no quasars left?

Quasars are not gone; they are still observed in the universe. Quasars are powered by accretion of material onto supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which can make them appear as some of the brightest and most powerful objects in the universe. However, the number of observed quasars may be influenced by factors such as the current stage of galaxy evolution or observational limitations.


How many quasars are in a galaxy?

Typically, a galaxy may contain one or a few quasars. Quasars are incredibly luminous objects powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. They are rare and only occur under specific conditions, so it is not common for a galaxy to have multiple quasars.


Are quasars a higher energy galaxie?

Yes, quasars are galaxies where the central black hole is turned on and consuming material.
