Based on the SDSS catalog, we have found new close quasar-galaxy pairs.Quasars projected onto the halos of nearer galaxies are encountered among themultitude of quasars observed at various distances from us. Among them thereare quasars that are close to the galaxies not only in angular separation, butalso in redshift. Such quasar-galaxy pairs are called close pairs. We developedfurther the hypothesis that such pairs appear, because the fluxer on thenucleus of the more distant galaxy passes through halo globular clusters of thenearer galaxy,resulting in magnification and splitting of the image of thesource that we interpret as a quasar. To corroborate this hypothesis, weanalyzed the distribution of quasars in the plane of the halos of thesegalaxies. The quasars from close pairs were found to follow the density profileof globular clusters in the halos of elliptical and spiral galaxies with slopesof -1.5 and -2.4 for elliptical and spiral galaxies, respectively. Thissuggests that quasars do not appear near galaxies by chance and that quasarsare associated with galaxies via halo globular clusters.
