Is the dust and gas found between stars called quasars?
No. The clouds of gas and dust are called nebulae. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter falling into an enormous black hole.
What instrument do scientists use to study quasars?
Radio Telescope Apex
True or false both quasars and pulsars send out radio signals?
yes they do
What do astronomers use to study quasars?
Astronomers use telescopes, both ground-based and space-based, to study quasars. They observe the light emitted by quasars across different wavelengths, such as visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray, to learn more about their properties and behavior. Additionally, they analyze the spectra of quasars to understand their composition and the physical processes happening within them.
What are the brightest objects in the universe called?
They are called quasars. We occasionally observe short bursts of gamma radiation which outshine even quasars temporarily, but astronomers aren't absolutely certain yet what causes them.
The first quasars were called?
Radio Stars
Distant radio sources that resemble stars?
quasars
What is the galaxy called that sends radio waves?
Quasars
Are brighter than stars.?
Quasars A+
Can quasars be mistaken for stars since they're distant galaxies with an active nucleus at the center of it?
No they cannot be mistaken for stars as stars can be seen by the human eye & Quasars cannot.
Which was discovered most recently DNA atomic power radio waves or pulsars and quasars?
pulsar and quasars
Are distant objects in space called quarks or quasars?
quasars
Why were quasars first called ''radios stars''?
Quasars are the brightest and most distant objects in the known universe. In the early 1960's, quasars were referred to as radio stars because they were discovered to be a strong source of radio waves. In fact, the term quasar comes from the words, "quasi-stellar radio source". Today, many astronomers refer to these objects as quasi-stellar objects, or QSOs. As the resolution of our radio and optical telescopes became better, it was noticed that these were not true stars but some type of as yet unknown star-like objects. It also appeared that the radio emissions were coming from a pair of lobes surrounding these faint star-like objects. It was also discovered that these objects were located well outside our own galaxy. Quasars are very mysterious objects. Astronomers today are still not sure exactly what these objects are. What we do know about them is that they emit enormous amounts of energy. They can burn with the energy of a trillion suns. Some quasars are believed to be producing 10 to 100 times more energy than our entire galaxy. All of this energy seems to be produced in an area not much bigger than our solar system.
Quasars are among the strongest sources of?
Light and radio waves.
Quasars are among the strongest sources of what?
light and radio waves
What is the infant galaxy that is studied through the use of radio waves?
Quasars
Is the dust and gas found between stars called quasars?
No. The clouds of gas and dust are called nebulae. A quasar is a disk of superheated matter falling into an enormous black hole.
