A team of researchers led by Pierre Magain of the University of Liège, Belgium announced their findings in the September 14, 2005 issue of the journal Nature.

[2] The quasar lies close in the sky to a disturbed, starburst galaxy (see figure, upper left).

The third paper,[5] from a team led by David Merritt, critically examined the ejection hypothesis and concluded that it could not be correct.

NLS1's are believed to have abnormally small black holes; since black hole size is strongly correlated with galaxy size, the host galaxy of the quasar should also be abnormally small, explaining why it had not been detected by Magain et al. (2) The quasar spectrum also reveals the presence of a classic, narrow emission line region (NLR).

They confirmed a small mass for the black hole, implying an even fainter host galaxy than predicted by Merritt et al. (3) Feain et al. (2007) [8] detected radio emission from the quasar, which they interpreted as indicating ongoing star formation, which "contradicts any suggestion that this is a 'naked' quasar'".
