Scientists have discovered the most distant quasar with powerful radiation

In a study published in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers described a quasar that

located very far from Earthdistance - 13 billion light years. In this case, the object emits a very powerful radiation flux in the radio range. Therefore, the light from it traveled to us for about 13 billion years, and the device of the European Southern Observatory (VLT ESO) recorded it when the age of the Universe was only 780 million years.

Scientists explained that quasars are brightobjects that can sometimes be seen in the center of some galaxies. According to the latest data, these are active galactic nuclei at the initial stage of development, in which a supermassive black hole absorbs the surrounding matter.

Astronomers have found a large protocluster of galaxies in the cosmic fog

It is this quasar that holds the record because ofa cosmic jet that propagates perpendicular to the accretion disk. It is only about 1000 years old. Space jets are ultra-high-speed material that bursts out of the center of the galaxy, and when interacting with galactic gas, they eject a huge amount of energy in the form of radio waves.

“They play an important role in regulatingthe formation of stars and the growth of host galaxies, so this discovery is very important for understanding these processes in the early universe, ”- said Chris Karilli, astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
