Seven possible quasar lenses emerge from AI scan of 800,000 DESI objects

Scientists have discovered seven new candidate quasars that may act as gravitational lenses using an AI model trained on simulated data. These quasars, located over 5-6 billion light-years away, could provide insights into the formation of supermassive black holes and the evolution of galaxies. The study, conducted by an international team analyzing data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, used machine learning to identify rare instances where quasars bend light from distant objects. The findings were published in The Astrophysical Journal.
