Quasars

Active Galactic Nuclei/Quasars Quasars are most important as they are the oldest, largest black holes Quasars spew huge amounts of radiation very far out and foster new galaxies and solar systems.

Ho (2002) Found no direct relationship between radio luminosity and the mass of the black hole, contradicting previous thoughts.

Zhang (2003) Concurred with Ho, didn’t find any direct relationship between RL and MBH. Claims that other factors contribute to RL.

Dunlop (2002) Determined that the relative number of Quasars can be explained in several thresholds. Determined that the percentage of galaxies that are active around us is about 0.1% while those active at high redshifts were active about 10% of the time.
