Arxiv: The nature of low-luminosity AGNs discovered by JWST at 5 < z < 6 based on clustering analysis: ancestors of quasars at z\lesssim3? Published: 10/11/2024 1:51:23 PM Updated: 10/11/2024 1:51:23 PM
Paper abstract: James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered many faint AGNs at high-zby detecting their broad Balmer lines. However, their high number density, lackof X-ray emission, and overly high black hole masses with respect to their hoststellar masses suggest that they are a distinct population from general type-1quasars. Here, we present clustering analysis of 28 low-luminosity broad-lineAGNs found by JWST (JWST AGNs) at 5
