A QSO 2.4 arcsec from a dwarf galaxy - the rest of the story
Arp, Halton
Original · EN
D. Reimers and H.-J. Hagen report in A&A 329, L25 (1998) that a QSO of z =.807 is a "by chance projection" on the center of a galaxy of z =.009. A considerable amount of previously published evidence would lead us to expect an active, low redshift galaxy within about one degree of such a quasar. It is shown here that, in fact, there is a bright Seyfert galaxy of z =.008 only 36.9 arcmin distance. Moreover, it turns out that a total of five quasars, plus the dwarf galaxy, are accurately aligned along the minor axis of this Seyfert with the quasars in descending order of redshift, i.e., z = 2.13, 1.97,.81,.69 and.35.
