ZL Wen, JL Han, FS Liu - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Using the photometric redshifts of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III),
we identify 132,684 clusters in the redshift range of 0.05⩽ z< 0.8. Monte Carlo simulations …

Quasar quartet embedded in giant nebula reveals rare massive structure in distant universe

JF Hennawi, JX Prochaska, S Cantalupo… - Science, 2015 - science.org
All galaxies once passed through a hyperluminous quasar phase powered by accretion onto
a supermassive black hole. But because these episodes are brief, quasars are rare objects …

Entropy of null surfaces and dynamics of spacetime

T Padmanabhan, A Paranjape - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2007 - APS
The null surfaces of a spacetime act as oneway membranes and can block information for a
corresponding family of observers (timelike curves). Since lack of information can be related …

Selecting quasars by their intrinsic variability

KB Schmidt, PJ Marshall, HW Rix, S Jester… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
