relationship beween Quasar and Black Hole
2006-09-02 22:36:24 · update #1
Yes, a Black Hole will essentially feed a Quasar. You can read up on it at wikipedia.

Lots of misinformation here. As gas and matter are pulled into the black hole, a rotating accretion disc is formed. As the plasma gets closer and closer to the hole, the rotation increases, reaching near the speed of light. Some galaxies have holes with monstrous accretion discs, holding enough gas to form millions of stars. That gas, rotating at nearly the speed of light, is heated to millions of degrees (hotter than the interior of the sun), and in the process releases electromagnetic radiation. We're talking a LOT of radiation.
The radiation from the disc itself forms along two jets on the north and south poles of the hole (following the magnetic lines formed by the black hole). Thus almost the entire energy radiating from the disc is released along the jets. If the Earth is in the line-of-site of the jet, we see the effect of the massive amount of energy, and call it a quasar. Of course, once the plasma crosses the event horizon (the black hole boundary), no more radiation escapes and it's all gone for good.
A quasar usually forms at the beginning of galactic formation. Eventually the gas within the gravitational well of the black hole runs out, and the last of the matter falls in. The accretion disc disappears, the jets of radiation disappear and the black hole is no longer "active". The gravity well is still there, as evidenced by stars at the center of the galaxy that orbit around the hole. However, barring something weird (like 2 galaxies colliding) a massive accretion disc (and the quasar) will never again form, which is why all quasars have been deduced many billions of light years away.

Yes! Quasars are thought to be super-active galaxies with massive black holes at their centers. There is definitely a relationship!

A quesar is a gigantic object that emits light, raidiation, and other forms of known, and maybe even unknown energy. A black hole is something that used to be a star until it ran out of hydrogen to fuel itself. After that the star collapses on itself with its powerful gravity. It than can shrick down to the size of a single atom. It creates an infinite strong gravitational pull. Anything that goes past the event horizon, is doomed to be crushed at the singularity, and you would be incinerated because of the accretion disk's immense heat.
So a quesar and a black hole are both complete opposites. One creates light and energy, while one sucks in light and other objects and destroys them. But possibly a quesar could be the other end of a black hole. The black could create a wormhole within itself, at the perfect center of the black holes atom. The black hole would than crush things to an infinite mass (infinitely small), and they would be transported to the quesar at the other end of the wormhole. Then the quesar would use the things that the black hole sucks in to create light and other energies.

no, there is no relationship between a quasar and a black whole... but yes, there is a relationship between a black HOLE and a quasar.... not a Whole however..
sorry
just poking fun at your stupidity....
take it like a man or woman or man/woman...

no there's no relation between a quasar and an black hole
quasar is an radiating object while blackholes arent.

Unknown at this point, since no one knows exactly what a quasar is, aside from it being a big, big object, far, far, away emittng a whole lot of energy.

I'm not into astronomy but there may be a relationship between a quasar and a black "HOLE".

simply no.
A quasar is a rotating object or an object with a rotating emission of any possible kind
and
a black hole is a super massive object with a density towards infinity of such a great gravitational power that not even light can escape it pull.
