However, Quasar isn't a precisely defined term. | |

Mainly added a wish for someone pointing to an investigation "proving" that galaxies perceived to host quasars alway fall within a certaion observation angle range

| Apr 7, 2019 at 10:30 | comment | added | Agerhell | I did read that question before I posted. Note that someone answered about quasars "Its main property is that it's galaxy axis points towards the earth and this way we receive its light and radio signals. That's why they are one of the most energetic AGN. " There is no source to back up that statement provided there either. Have there been an investigation that galaxies perceived to host quasars always are observed from a particular range of angles? | |
