Observations Supporting the Existence of an Intrinsic Magnetic Moment inside the Central Compact Object within the Quasar Q0957+561
Abstract
Recent brightness fluctuation and autocorrelation analysis of time series data and microlensing size scales, seen in Q0957+561A and B, have produced important information about the existence and characteristic physical dimensions of a new nonstandard magnetically dominated internal structure contained within this quasar. This new internal quasar structure, which we call the Schild-Vakulik structure, can be consistently explained in terms of a new class of gravitationally collapsing solutions to the Einstein field equations that describe highly redshifted Eddington-limited magnetospheric eternally collapsing objects that contain intrinsic magnetic moments. Since observations of the Schild-Vakulik structure within Q0957+561 imply that this quasar contains an observable intrinsic magnetic moment, this represents strong evidence that the quasar does not have an event horizon.
