| Abstract: | We discuss the origin of the optical jets and the apparently associated cloud of QSOs in NGC 1097. There is a simple explanation
for the jets in terms of ejection trails of supermassive black holes. In this interpretation, the trails provide the first
direct evidence for the non-conservation of linear momentum in a two black hole collision. The cluster of quasars at the end
of the jets is then naturally associated with objects which have been ejected by the merging pair of black holes. It is possible
to interpret the spectral lines of these QSOs such that half of them are blueshifted relative to NGC 1097 while the other
half is redshifted. We infer that the objects in the QSO cluster are not real QSOs but probably collapsed objects of lower
mass. We argue that these objects are likely to represent the hypothetical population III black holes of Carretal. |
