Trumpet Summit: Jeremy Pelt, Brad Goode and Terell Stafford
The spirit of trumpeter m: Miles Davis remains very much a creative quasar furnishing a certain gravitational pull to a considerable population of bodies orbiting it. On the outer edges of this quasar's orbit are the (relatively) young trumpeters who emerged after the pedantic eclipse of m: Wynton Marsalis occurred. Show More Summary
Image of the Day: Quasar 'Fog' Hides an Ancient Galaxy
Hubble astronomers have looked at one of the most distant and brightest quasars in the universe and were surprised by what they did not see: the underlying host galaxy of stars feeding the quasar. The best explanation is that the...
3 Latin American entrepreneurs set out to build stronger startups
Quasar Ventures is a new "tech company builder" based in Buenos Aires that made its public debut today with $5.4 million in outside investment.
"Was the Milky Way's Core Once a Quasar?" --Astronomers Probe Our Cosmic Origins
The brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formation. University of Colorado-Boulder Professor Michael Shull and Research Associate David...
'Sideline quasars' helped to stifle early galaxy formation
Astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say "sideline quasars" likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formatio...

The Largest Structure in Observable Universe --Quasar Group 4 Billion Light-Years Wide (Weekend Feature)
On the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the quasar, we thanought it timely to do a weekend feature on the recent discovery oftThe largest known structure in the universe. The large quasar group (LQG -a portion shown above))...
Quasars discovered 50 years ago
Breathtaking blossoms nearly the size of our solar systemare strewn across the universe - hundreds of thousands of them. Quasars are, at the same time, among the most fiery monsters. Astronomer Maarten Schmidt was the first to discover one and revealed it to the world 50 years ago Saturday in an article in the journal [...]
Quasars at 50: Luminous Cosmic Beacons Remain a Puzzle
Fifty years ago, in the journal Nature, astronomer Maarten Schmidt published a brief paper noting that a star-like object known as 3C 273 was simply too far away to be a star in the Milky Way. Schmidt, of the California Institute of Technology, concluded on the basis of spectroscopic observations that the object was in [...]
Extremely rare triple quasar found
For only the second time in history, astronomers have discovered an extremely rare triple quasar system. Quasars are extremely bright and powerful sources of energy that sit in the center of a galaxy, surrounding a black hole. In systems with multiple quasars, the bodies are held together by gravity and are believed to be the product of galaxies colliding.
'Very rare' triple quasar found
For only the second time ever, astronomers have discovered a triple quasar system - possibly part of a much larger structure. read more
Extremely rare triple quasar found
Pasadena, CA—For only the second time in history, a team of scientists--including Carnegie's Michele Fumagalli--have discovered an extremely rare triple quasar system. Their work is published by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Show More Summary
3-D observations of the outflow from an active galactic nucleus
Quasars are bright central regions of some distant galaxies. Their luminosities are often hundreds of times greater than those of their host galaxies (Note 2). Scientists believe that their light source is a very bright gaseous disk surrounding a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Show More Summary
Colossal Quasar Discovered with Energy Output 100 Times Milky Way
Researchers have discovered a quasar known as SDSS J1106+1939 with the most energetic outflow ever, a finding that may answer questions about how the mass of a galaxy is linked to its central black hole mass and why there are...
RUBBER SOULS
