The Most Distant Known Quasar With A Bright Radio Emission Discovered
An international team of astronomers have discovered the most distant ‘radio-loud’ quasar named P172+18 with the help of European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT).
- It took 13 billion years for the quasar’s light to reach earth.
- Radio-loud quasars are quasars with powerful jets that are strong sources of radio-wavelength emission. These make up about 10% of the overall quasar population.
