This artist’s impression of a supermassive black hole system shows some of the detail in these puzzling objects. Infalling gas forms an accretion disk around the hole, with a bright corona of plasma nearest the black hole. The SMBH is also launching relativistic jets from its poles.

Why are SMBH in the early Universe so massive? According to astrophysical models, these extraordinarily large SMBH haven’t had time to become so massive. Super-Eddington accretion might explain it, but can it explain a very unusual early SMBH recently discovered?
