Your friendly neighbourhood quasar

What would light emerging at the event horizon of a quasar look like?

For now that is the goal for this module, what should a quasar look like?

With all fingers crossed for the JWST, I think we are about to be surprised at how ubiquitous quasars are.

Geometry

Oscillations, tidal ejection.

In a place where the passage of time is close to zero, but not actually, zero.

JWST

The model for quasars outlined in `gotu`_ requires just two parameters.

The central mass and the temperature and density of matter around the Eddington sphere of the quasar’s black hole.

There is a huge range of possible redshifts, depending on these two parameters.
