Wrong type of binary system, no dwarf component, no supermassive star.

He dreamed of galaxies condensing out of gas, of supermassive young suns flaring brilliantly and briefly within those galaxies.

They would take the temperature of dust clouds and nebulas, track down gravitational anomalies, and provide pictures of the controlled chaos around the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

In fact, military planners called Chandra, a supermassive black hole, the Prime Radiant of the Xeelee.

And the Baby, like everything else in the Cavity, was centered on the Prime Radiant itself: Chandra, the supermassive black hole, utterly immovable, the pivot around which the immense machinery of the inner Galaxy turned.

He knew that road led straight to the system surrounding Chandra, the supermassive black hole itself, though that central mystery was still invisible to him.

Though they would pass vanishingly close to the event horizon of a supermassive black hole, there was nothing to fear from tides: Chandra was, paradoxically, too big for that, and in fact they could fall all the way down through the event horizon without feeling a thing.

Thus it was in 1963 that Hoyle and William Fowler, astrophysicist from CalTech, proposed that the quasars might be supermassive objects relatively close to our own galaxy.

And the powerful gravitational field of this supermassive object causes the red shift.

This is not an instance of one galaxy colliding with another and absorbing it, or of a supermassive black hole or other identifiable astronomical phenomenon siphoning off stellar mass.

Viewed from the outside, you have a supermassive charged particle that can be guided electromagnetically.
