What are quasars? Astronomers have wondered ever since their discovery, more than 15 years ago, as a class of highly enigmatic astronomical objects. Now, however, a better understanding of the physical processes in their interiors is slowly emerging, thanks to improved observations, and it appears more or less confirmed that (most of the known) quasars are actually rather similar to the nuclei of nearby, active galaxies. Correlations between strengths of emission lines and absolute magnitude have been found. Drs. Jacqueline Bergeron and Daniel Kunth of the ESO Scientific Group in Geneva are presently studying the important question of radio-strong vs. radio-quiet quasars and report some extremely interesting observations with the 3.6 m telescope.
