Often used to refer to the AGN itself, rather than the host galaxy

[edit]

The article's first sentence currently identifies the term as only referring to the entire galaxies themselves, despite the fact that from early suggestions that they were evidence of AGNs (e.g. Bergeron, J. (1978) "Quasars and BL Lac Objects as Active Nuclei of Giant Galaxies" The Messenger, vol. 12, p. 5-6. ESO.), to more recent publications, e.g.

it looks like researchers often use it to mean the nuclei themselves. On the other hand, there are examples in the other direction like this. I will edit the intro's first sentence to reflect this. —Undomelin (talk) 21:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
