Scientific paper

The reported near-infrared photometric observations of Q 0420-388 show that it is 13.5 plus or minus 0.2 mag at 2.2 microns. The bolometric luminosity is calculated to be equal to or greater than 5 times 10 to the 14th power suns for H = 50 km/(sec Mpc) and the deceleration parameter = 0.1. This value is compared with the luminosities of other highly luminous sources, and Q 0420-388 is found to be the most luminous quasar for cosmologies with small deceleration parameter.
