JWST spots two early black holes growing far faster than their galaxies
Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal that the black holes in these galaxies, seen just 800 million years after the Big Bang, are significantly more massive relative to their host galaxies, as opposed to what astronomers see in the nearby universe. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.
