Physical Pathways for JWST-observed Supermassive Black Holes in the Early Universe

Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed active galactic nuclei (AGN) powered by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with estimated masses of 10 ^7 –10 ^8 M _⊙ at redshifts z  ∼ 7–9. Some reside in overmassive systems with higher AGN to stellar mass ratios than locally. Und...
