  • Publication Frequency Quarterly

Cosmology & Astroparticle Physics

Exploring the fundamental nature of the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest cosmic structures.

Recent Breakthrough: Overmassive Black Holes

Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed black holes in the early universe that challenge existing astrophysical models2 .

JWST has identified black holes approximately 70 times more massive than expected in distant, young galaxies. These "overmassive" black holes contradict the established relationship between black hole mass and stellar mass in their host galaxies2 .

This discovery suggests either these black holes grew with incredibly high efficiency in the early universe, or their growth mechanisms differed significantly from what we observe in more recent cosmic history2 .
