Astronomers Discover By Far the Most Distant Known ‘Radio-Loud’ Quasar Quasars are among the most extreme astrophysical objects in our universe. They contain supermassive black holes and lie at the centers of galaxies, where they quickly consume nearby materials and emit enormous amounts of energy. A small percentage of quasars also drive powerful radio jets, which can travel at nearly the speed of light. Now astronomers have discovered a quasar that is by far the most distant one with powerful jets. Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of a...

"P172+18": Astronomers discover most distant 'radio-loud' quasar Quasars are very bright objects that lie at the centre of some galaxies and are powered by supermassive black holes Wednesday March 10, 2021 9:21 AM, IANS London: With the help of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), astronomers have discovered the most distant quasar with powerful jets emitting at radio wavelengths. The discovery of this 'radio-loud' quasar, published in The Astrophysical Journal, could provide important clues to help astronomers understand the early universe. About Quasars Quas...

A radio-loud quasar nicknamed P172+18 might be the most distant one ever found — at some 13 billion light-years away.

Keck Observatory; Illustration: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss Astronomers have discovered evidence for an extraordinarily long jet of particles coming from a supermassive black hole in the early universe, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. If confirmed, it would be the most distant supermassive black hole w...

Scientists have discovered the most distant radio blast ever known. The blast came from a quasar that is so far away that its light took 13 billion years to arrive at Earth. That means that the signals detected by scientists are coming from a time when the universe was just 780 million years old. More distant quasars have been found in the past. But the new one is notable because it is “radio-loud” – it is the first time that radio jets have...
