The First Luminous Quasars and Their Host Galaxies
Abstract
High-Redshift quasars probe the growth of early supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the universe. In the next decade, new observations will push the frontier to the first luminous quasars at z>9, probe fainter quasar populations that trace earlier phases of BH growth, and connect SMBH growth with the rise of the earliest massive galaxies.
