Quasar Q0055-269
IPCS spectrum of the recently
discovered quasar Q0055-269 obtained by A. Boksenberg with the Isaac Newton
Telescope and reduced with Starlink facilities. The labelled ticks above
the spectrum identify the most prominent ultraviolet emission lines which,
in the qusar spectrum, are redshifted into the optical range. The redshift
deduced, z=3.68, makes Q0055-269 one of the most distant objects known
in the universe. [ TIFF ]
