A radio galaxy at redshift 4.41
- Abstract:
-
THE most distant astronomical objects observed are quasars at redshifts of z ≃ 4.9 (ref. 1), corresponding to a time when the Universe was less than a billion years old. This leaves little time during which the quasars and their host galaxies could form. In principle, the evolutionary state of the host galaxies can be probed by determining how many stars have formed, but this task is not straightforward because light from the quasar itself overwhelms any accompanying starlight. High-redshift ...
