Observations confirm astronomers' expectation that early-Universe quasars formed in regions of space densely populated with companion galaxies. DECam's exceptionally wide field of view and special ...

A new study reveals that supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, known as quasars, can sometimes be obscured by dense clouds of gas and dust in their host galaxies. This challenges the ...

A cluster of eleven quasars on a galactic boundary challenges existing models, prompting a rethink of quasar formation in large-scale cosmic structures. (Nanowerk News) A newly discovered cluster of ...

UK astronomers using the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii have discovered enormous quantities of cosmic dust in the most distant quasar yet observed. The quasar, called SDSS J1148+5251 is ...

The Subaru Telescope discovered a unique quasar that was shining bright in two kinds of waves despite its continuous growth.

Observations made by Chile's ALMA telescope have revealed a gigantic quasar quenching a galaxy's star formation — a first-of-its-kind observation in the early universe. When you purchase through links ...

Using the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, a group of astronomers led by Joseph Hennawi of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have discovered the first quadruple quasar: four rare active black ...
