The JWST Finds More Overmassive Black Holes. This Time In Dwarf Galaxies

These are some of the puzzling Little Red Dots (LRD) found in the early Universe by the JWST. Their exact nature is still being debated and determined, partly because they're at the space telescope's observational limit. New research based on JWST observations pushes more deeply into the issue. Image Credit: NASA; ESA; CSA; STScI; Dale Kocevski/Colby College

The JWST has shown us that supermassive black holes were much larger in the early Universe than we thought. New research has extended this understanding to more intermediate redshifts, and to dwarf galaxies. Could the often-invoked Super-Eddington accretion be responsible?
