X-Ray Weak Active Galactic Nuclei from Super-Eddington Accretion onto Infant Black Holes
A simple model for the X-ray weakness of James Webb Space Telescope–selected broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is proposed under the assumption that the majority of these sources are fed at super-Eddington accretion rates. In these conditions, the hot inner corona above the geometrically thin...
