Quasar called W2246-0526
- Galaxy obscured by 'hot dust' and shooting out 'more light than 350 billion suns'
Observed at z=4.601 and with L bol=3.5×10 14L⊙, the W2246-0526 is the most luminous galaxy known in the Universe, and hosts a deeply-buried active galactic nucleus (AGN)/super-massive blackhole (SMBH). Discovered using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE)
W2246-0526 is classified as a Hot Dust Obscured Galaxy, based on its luminosity and dust temperature.
