  2. 5. A distant, point-like energy source originating from a powerful active galactic nucleus.
  3. 8. - A substellar object that is too low in mass to sustain the nuclear fusion of hydrogen-1 in its core.
  4. 9. A concentration of mass so compact that it creates a region of space from which not even light can escape.
  5. 10. - The common center of mass about which any two or more bodies of a gravitationally bound system orbit.
  6. 11. - A type of compact star that is composed almost entirely of neutrons.

  3. 4. A star system consisting of exactly two stars orbiting around their common barycenter.
  4. 6. A large, gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter, each of which orbits a center of mass.
  5. 7. A type of stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.
