Abstract: | It has become part of the conventional wisdom of quasar research that quasars cannot be objects ejected from nearby galaxies.
The reasons are summarized in Burbidge & Burbidge (1967) and they include: (1) in quasar spectra only redshifts, and no blueshifts,
are observed, contrary to expectation in a local Doppler interpretation of quasar line shifts; (2) the energy requirements
for relativistically moving quasars seem excessive and the ejection mechanism is unknown. In. this work we show that the first
problem could be explained via some powerful selection effects, and that the second problem does not exist in the relativistic
slingshot process of ejecting black holes. Consequently one cannot exclude the possibility that at least some of the quasar-galaxy
associations of large redshift differentials discussed by Arp and Sulentic are real and that the redshift differences are
due to high speeds of ejected quasars |
