Quasar

[edit]

Shouldn't this be QSO J1819+3845? J1819+3845 is just a bunch of coordinates. 132.205.15.4 04:24, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Aaah, yes, but this is some boring 20mag beast, that is detected as a quasar (i.e. having appropriate emission lines), because it was first detected in radio. "QSO" is generally reserved for those bright beasts that look, well, quasi-stellar on optical plates. So, yes its a bunch of coordinates, thats all. QSR J1819+3845 Its a bit of a grey ares, but i think it is not a "QSO". That is to say - not 'quasi-stellar', but has the properties which are now identified as 'quasars'. Clear? As mud, I expect.

Scintillation links to a diambiguation page. It is not clear to me which page is intended. Is interstellar scintillation an example of Scintillation (physics), or does it resemble Scintillation (astronomy) enough to be named for it? --Klausok 16:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

have directed to to scintillation(astronomy) which is the relevant link — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.2.130.255 (talkcontribs) 13:17, 24 November 2007‎

But what is the mass, the color, the temperature and the life span of the Quasar????????? All unknown, as with most quasars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.56.16.67 (talkcontribs) 18:28, 20 December 2006‎
