dc.description.abstractThe present work investigates the dynamics of ejection of quasars from galaxies in the Variable Mass Hypothesis (VMH), originally discussed by Narlikar & Das to provide a theoretical interpretation of the observed alignments of quasars with active galaxies. According to the VMH a typical quasar is ejected from the parent galaxy with zero rest mass which grows with time through a Machian interaction whereas its speed decreases from its initial value which equals the speed of light. A consistent picture emerges from the calculations, based on the recent observational data from X-ray astronomy, in which the quasar passes through a continuous sequence of decreasing redshifts and increasing masses as it grows old. The calculations also provide a method for distinguishing between quasars which can escape the gravitational influence of the parent galaxies and the ones which are bound.en
