Formation of Plasma Proto-Galaxies by Turbulent Fragmentation: Quasar Quartet Images of Young Chain-Cluster-Galaxies
Abstract
Observations of four linearly-aligned, closely-spaced-quasars (Quasar Quartet) are explained (Hennawi et al. 2015) as the progenitor of an even more massive galactic structure. An alternative interpretation is that such linear structures reflect turbulent vortex lines of the plasma epoch, which are progenitors of chain-galaxy-clusters such as the Stephan Quintet and other Hickson compact groups of galaxies (Gibson and Schild 2007), where turbulence creates and stretches the line of galaxies into slender pencils viewed end on, aided by the expansion of the universe.
