Does the new quasar http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/649059.stm indicate a challenge for models of quasars? Some of the ritz-type models do provide explanations for these, e.g., http://faculty.washington.edu/devasia/Physics/Devasia_cosmology.pdf
It provides potential explanations to current anomalies in cosmological observations such as: (i) the presence of large number of spectroscopic binaries with short time periods even though nearby visual binaries are not seen with such short time periods; (ii) the apparent lack of time dilation in quasar observations even though time dilation has been observed in supernovae (SNe) light curves; (iii) the possibility that some quasars might be closer than the distance predicted by their large spectroscopic redshifts; and (iv) the difficulty in identifying supernovae progenitors.
