The Redshift Evolution of the M•–M⋆ Relation for JWST's Supermassive Black Holes at z> 4

F Pacucci, A Loeb - The Astrophysical Journal, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
JWST has detected many overmassive galactic systems at z> 4, where the mass of the black
hole, M•, is 10–100 times larger than expected from local relations, given the host's stellar …

Observational Tests of Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback: An Overview of Approaches and Interpretation
