Quasars as Extreme Case of Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a phenomenological investigation of the evolution and large scale distribution of quasars using a modified version of the Field and Colgate gravitational contraction model for proto-galaxies. By studying the distribution of about 7000 quasars in 5 luminosity classes, it seems that, such a model is capable of solving the energy problem and discussing some of the observational properties of these objects. A sketch of luminosity function of the quasars and the normal galaxies shows a unified aspect for these objects. The large scale distribution of the quasars in the galactic coordinate shows the existence of filamentary structures and voids in the same sence that have been resolved by exploring the clusters of galaxies. Subject headings: galaxies: quasars: general, luminosity function — cosmology: largescale structure of universe

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملNear-infrared Search for C Iv Absorption Counterparts along the Line-of-sights to Pair Quasars
We carried out a Subaru and UKIRT near infrared imaging survey for Hα emitting galaxies around two pair quasar systems (Q0301-005/Q0302-003 and Q2343+125/Q2344+125), and a triple quasar system (KP76/KP77/KP78). Narrow band near infrared filters covering the Hα emission expected for galaxies at the confirmed C iv absorption redshift toward the quasar systems were used for this survey. These quas...
متن کاملAGN Environments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I : Dependence on Luminosity
We explore how the local environment is related to the type and luminosity of AGN. Recent simulations and observations are converging on the view that the extreme luminosity of quasars is fueled in major mergers of gas-rich galaxies. In such a picture, quasars are expected to be located in regions with higher density of galaxies where mergers are more likely to take place. However, in this pict...
متن کاملUltraviolet and Optical Properties of Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies are remarkable for their extreme continuum and emission line properties which are not well understood. New results bearing on the spectroscopic characteristics of these objects are presented here, with the aim of establishing their typical ultraviolet (UV) and optical spectral behavior. We employ Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of 22 NLS1s, which ...
متن کاملThe Identi cation of Quasars Behind Elliptical Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies
The detection of resonance absorption lines against known objects such as individual galaxies and clusters of galaxies is a powerful approach for studying the gas content of these systems. We describe an e cient method of identifying background quasars suitable for absorption line studies. In this nding technique, we identify serendipitous X-ray sources, about 1/8 of which are suitably bright q...
