The combination of data from these three telescopes and analysis by the team shows that these objects emit up to 10,000 times as much power as our entire Milky Way galaxy and contain black holes with a mass of up to 10 billion solar masses, while simultaneously producing stars at a prodigious rate of thousands of solar masses per year.<\/p>\n<p>The team consists of scientists from 16 universities and research centers around the world including the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
