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

CONSEQUENCES. “What these measurements suggest is that between z = 6.3 and z = 4.692, from a Universe age of 0.86–1.25 Gyr, the accretion properties of the most massive BHs do not change substantially.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn

MOST LUMINOUS QUASAR. “The measured Eddington ratio of 0.4 places SMSS J2157 within the typical distribution of luminous quasars, implying that the extreme nature of its luminosity is a consequence of its extraordinarily high BH mass.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn

DOORWAY. “High-luminosity quasars offer important windows into the densest concentrations of baryons at high redshift, as they are likely to reside in well-developed galaxies.” https://lnkd.in/eU2xwdUN View in LinkedIn
