A Cluster of High Redshift Quasars with Apparent Diameter 2.3 Degrees
نویسنده
چکیده
During analysis of the relation of quasars to galaxies in the 2dF deep field a concentration of quasars was noted. Most striking was the closeness in redshift of 14 quasars about the mean redshift z = 2.149 with a range of ±.018. The cluster in spite of its high redshift subtends an area of diameter more than 2.3 degrees on the sky. At conventional redshift distance its diameter would be 181 mega parsecs and the back should be receding with about 10, 000 km/s with respect to the front. Subject headings: galaxies: active galaxies: individual (AM2230-284) quasars: general

Estimating the continuum of quasars using the articial neural networks
A lot of absorption lines are in the bluewards of Lyα emission line of quasar which is well-known as Lyαforest. Most of absorption lines in this forest belong to the Lyα absorption of the neutral hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium (IGM). For high redshift quasars and in the continuum with low and medium resolution, there are no many regions without absorption, so that, the quasar continuum i...
متن کاملGalaxy Clusters in the Line of Sight to Background Quasars: I. Survey Design and Incidence of Mg II Absorbers at Cluster Redshifts
Quasar absorption line systems are redshift-independent sensitive mass tracers. Here we describe the first optical survey of absorption systems associated with galaxy clusters at z = 0.3 − 0.9. We have cross-correlated quasars from the third data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with high-redshift cluster/group candidates from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey. In a common field of ≈ 20 sq...
متن کاملBgg revisited: The environments of low-excitation radio galaxies and unified models
Recent measurements of the galaxy clustering environments around intermediate-redshift radio sources have suggested a systematic environmental difference between radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars, in contradiction to the predictions of simple unified models for the two classes of object. I show that the apparent difference arises mainly as a result of the properties of low-excitation radio ...
متن کاملFast Bayesian Semiparametric Curve-Fitting and Clustering in Massive Data With Application to Cosmology
Abstract Recent technological advances have led to a flood of new data on cosmology rich in information about the formation and evolution of the universe, e.g., the data collected in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for more than 200 million objects. The analyses of such data demand cutting edge statistical technologies. Here, we have used the concept of mixture model within Bayesian semiparamet...
متن کاملRedshift Components of Apparent Quasar-Galaxy Associations: A Parametric Model
The components that are known to physically contribute to an object’s observed redshift are reviewed. Then, using a postulated galactic ejection model for quasars, and previously derived results from electromagnetic scattering theory which have been experimentally verified, a parametric extrapolation of these redshift components is presented. The model shows that high quasar redshift magnitudes...
