Packet 6: Bonus 15
Seyfert galaxies are less luminous examples of galaxies described by this adjective, which are classified as “type 1” or “type 2” based on whether they can be observed “face-on” or “edge-on.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Accretion disks around a supermassive black hole radiate light in “galactic nuclei” described by what adjective, such as quasars?
ANSWER: active [accept active galaxies or active galactic nuclei]
[10h] Magnetic fields generated by swirling matter at an active galactic nucleus can form these ejections of plasma along the axis of rotation. Blazars are characterized by having one of these features in which matter moves at relativistic speeds.
ANSWER: plasma jets [or astrophysical jets or relativistic jets]
[10e] Active galaxies with high-energy plasma jets more loudly emit light in this lowest-energy region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which quasars are named for emitting.
ANSWER: radio waves [accept quasi-stellar radio source]
