EJECTIONS OF POPULATION-III OBJECTS SEEN AS BLUESHIFTED QSOS

We discuss the origin of the optical jets and the apparently associate d cloud of QSOs in NGC 1097. There is a simple explanation for the jet s in terms of ejection trails of supermassive black holes. In this int erpretation, the trails provide the first direct evidence for the non- conservation of linear momentum in a two black hole collision. The clu ster of quasars at the end of the jets is then naturally associated wi th objects which have been ejected by the merging pair of black holes. It is possible to interpret the spectral lines of these QSOs such tha t half of them are blueshifted relative to NGC 1097 while the other ha lf 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 Carr et al.
