“…Magnetoids may result as a consequence of the contraction of an initially more rarefied medium and be dependent upon a suitable configuration of the magnetic field and rotation (6,9). Formation may occur either in the intergalactic medium (especially in the past) or in the nuclei of existing galaxies.…”

Although the energy problem is one of the main difficulties of the cosmological interpretation of quasar red-shifts, there is no need to go beyond conventional physical laws in seeking an explanation. Various proposals have been made which differ in important details. I believe a suitable basis for a theory of quasars to be a supermassive plasma configuration, the matter of which is in mostly regular motion in a magnetic field. Such a magnetodynamic configuration I shall call a ‘magnetoid’. On this model a quasar is a galaxy with a dense non-stellar nucleus, the magnetoid, which gives rise to the characteristic non-thermal luminosity. The mass of the quasar is determined by its stars while the parameters of the magnetoid depend on the stage of evolution or conditions of formation in a similar way to those of radiogalaxies or active nuclei of galaxies.

“…The explosive release of energy on the formation of a magnetoid, and during its development, leads to the ejection of matter in the form of a plasma. On cooling, this plasma will fragment into stars (18), thus providing a new process for the formation of stars and star clusters (see Figure 1).…”
