Feeding plankton to whales: high-redshift supermassive black holes from tiny black hole explosions
Yifan Lu, Zachary S. C. Picker, Alexander Kusenko
Recent observations of the high-redshift universe have uncovered a significant number of active galactic nuclei, implying that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) would have to have b…
