Quasar found 13 billion years away

writes: John Hutchings et al has found a quasar (the most distant known) at approx 13 billion years, z=6.43. http://xxx.lanl.gov/PS_cache/arxiv/p...706.0914v1.pdf Since the mass of the quasar is 500 million suns, and it has formed in about 500 million years, it must have swallowed 1 sun/year more or less. It swallowed the MASS of 1 sun per year, on average. Perhaps mass which had not yet formed stars. Another data point. The universe just a few hundred million years after the supposed "bang" looks more and more exactly like our own neighborhood. Are there any such QSOs nearby? |
