Unexpected giant glowing halos around distant quasars
Research
An international team of astronomers let by ETH astronomers has discovered glowing gas clouds surrounding distant quasars. This new survey made at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) indicates that halos around quasars are far more common than expected. The properties of the halos in this surprising find are also in striking disagreement with currently accepted theories of galaxy formation in the early Universe.
