Scientific paper

Observations from the Hubble Space Telescope may reveal the nature and origin of quasars, involving host galaxies which appear to be colliding with or swallowing other galaxies. The images suggest that colliding galaxies supply the fuel for the quasar energy production. Stars and gas shaken loose by the violence of the impact may be funneling into a massive black hole at the heart of one of the galaxies. The infalling matter then generates the intense radiation of the quasar.
