Constraining the AGN Luminosity Function from JWST with the X-Ray Background
We predict the X-ray background (XRB) expected from the population of quasars detected by the James Webb Space Telescope spectroscopic surveys over the redshift range z ∼ 4–7. We find that the measured UV emissivities imply a ∼10 times higher unresolved XRB than constrained by current experiments. W...
