Key Details

Studied 1359 quasars from SDSS and WISE, modeling their SEDs with X-CIGALE

Black hole and host galaxy appear to form rapidly, within ~1 Gyr

Star formation rates rise with redshift, mass and black hole accretion rate

No evidence for black hole feedback quenching star formation

Rapid star formation may have limited galaxy mass more than black hole winds

AI generated summary

Probing black hole and galaxy formation in quasars

This paper analyzes 1359 quasars to understand how their supermassive black holes and host galaxies form over cosmic time. Using models, it finds both form rapidly, with star formation rates rising with redshift. This suggests efficient star formation limited galaxy mass, not black hole feedback.
