THE MOTHER QUASAR. “A thirty-four billion solar mass black hole in SMSS J2157–3602, the most luminous known quasar.” https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn

LUMINOUS QUASARS. “A Closer Look at Two of the Most Luminous Quasars in the Universe. Ultraluminous quasars (M1450 ≤ −29) provide us with a rare view into the nature of the most massive and most rapidly accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). these two quasars provide support for theories that explain the existence of billion solar mass SMBHs ~700 million years after the Big Bang by moderate super-Eddington growth from standard SMBH seeds.” https://lnkd.in/ewtq3S5s View in LinkedIn

NUMBER FOUR. “In this paper we present the discovery and initial characterization of the most distant radio-loud quasar currently known, PSO J172.3556+18.7734 (hereafter P172+18) at z = 6.823, as measured from the Mg ii emission line.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

THREE SO FAR. “The three z > 6 radio-loud quasars currently known, listed by increasing redshift, are: J0309+2717 at z = 6.10, J1427+3312 at z = 6.12, and J1429+5447 at z = 6.18.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

FEW RADIO-LOUD QUASARS. “For the large majority of the remainder, the existing radio data are too shallow to robustly classify them as radio-quiet or radio-loud, although there are on-going efforts to obtain deeper radio observations of these objects.” https://lnkd.in/ds58Spd View in LinkedIn

THE MIGHTY INSECT. “The most advanced social insects—ants, termites, many species of bees and wasp—make up only about 3 percent of the known species of animals on earth. But on the land they make up in most habitats upwards of 50 percent of the biomass.” (The remarkable Professor EO Wilson) https://lnkd.in/dAbrgVEW View in LinkedIn

QUASAR OFFSPRING. “These studies indicate that quasar descendants are most likely not to live in privileged sites.” https://lnkd.in/dX4w36NJ View in LinkedIn

SURPRISE FINDING. “It has been found that the brightest quasars do not necessarily live in the highest density regions (rather the strongest correlation was found to be with low tidal field regions) of the early universe suggesting that their descendants may not necessarily be among the most massive haloes at z = 0.” https://lnkd.in/dX4w36NJ View in LinkedIn

THE EARLY UNIVERSE. “The discovery of highly luminous quasars at high redshifts (z > 6) suggests that black holes of masses around 10 billion solar masses existed in the early universe and the highest redshift quasar discovered so far is at z ∼ 7.” https://lnkd.in/dX4w36NJ View in LinkedIn
