Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a new population of 'hidden' supermassive black holes in the early universe, bridging the gap between classical quasars and the faint 'Little Red Dots,' and providing new insights into galaxy evolution and black hole growth during the first billion years after the Big Bang.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a new, previously unseen type of supermassive black hole activity in the early universe, bridging the gap between classical quasars and faint, dust-obscured objects called Little Red Dots, which may represent baby quasars. This finding suggests that many active black holes in the early universe have been overlooked and provides new insights into galaxy evolution and black hole growth.
