The X-rayUV Luminosity Relation of eROSITA Quasars

Andrea Sacchi, Guido Risaliti, Matilde Signorini +3

The non-linear relation between the UV and X-ray luminosity in quasars has been studied for decades. However, as we lack a comprehensive model able to explain it, its investigation…

Overmassive black holes in the early Universe can be explained by gas-rich, dark matter-dominated galaxies

William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Xihan Ji +12

JWST has revealed the apparent evolution of the black hole (BH)-stellar mass (-$M_\rm{\ast}$) relation in the early Universe, while remaining consistent with the BH-…
