Deep X-ray View of a Distant Protocluster Anchored by a Quasar at : No Evidence for Enhanced X-ray AGN Activity

Shouyi Wang, Feige Wang, Jinyi Yang +22

Whether dense environments accelerate SMBH growth during cosmic reionization remains uncertain because X-ray constraints on protoclusters are rare. We analyze ks of…

JWST-discovered AGN: evidence for heavy obscuration in the type-2 sample from the first stacked X-ray detection

Andrea Comastri, Giorgio Lanzuisi, Fabio Vito +9

One of the most puzzling properties of the high-redshift AGN population recently discovered by JWST, including both broad-line and narrow-line sources, is their X-ray weakness. Wit…
