How To Use quasar In A Sentence
- By recording the spectra of several distant quasars whose light pierces the Milky Way, the spacecraft revealed some 50 ultraviolet-absorbing gas clouds around our galaxy.
- It is the biggest black hole in the known universe and powers the brightest quasar in the cosmos. Times, Sunday Times
- I read up on interstellar objects and astrophysics and studied quasars, pulsars and supernovas, but my main focus was black holes.
- However, there are larger explosions, notably those that go on in the middle of active galactic nucleii, like quasars.
- In essence the galaxy is eclipsing the quasar, but paradoxically its gravitational lens effect brightens the light received from the latter.
- Pulsars and quasars may turn out to be commonplace in comparison to the exotic astrophysical events that gravity wave astronomy reveals.
- In order to be visible at all at the huge distances implied by their redshifts, quasars must produce prodigious amounts of energy.
- Now, of course, I knew that most astronomers think a quasar is a black hole with matter falling into it from an accretion disk, and that for some reason it is ejecting charged particles along its magnetic poles.
- In this paper a statistical investigation has been made on the redshift-magnitude relation of quasars with radio components structure.
- The astronomers speculate that quasars were ignited as blackholes grew by swallowing large quantities of cold, dense gas.
