Overmassive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies Out to z ∼ 0.9 in the VIPERS Survey
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to originate from early universe seed black holes of mass M _BH ∼ 10 ^2 –10 ^5 M _⊙ and grown through cosmic time. Such seeds could be powering the active galactic nuclei (AGN) found in today’s dwarf galaxies. However, probing a connection between the ear...
