Q-IFU: A JWST/NIRSpec Integral Field Unit Survey of Luminous Quasars at z ∼ 5–6: Rest-frame Optical Nuclear Properties and Extended Nebulae
It remains debatable how billion-solar-mass supermassive black holes (SMBHs) form and evolve within the first billion years. We report results from a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) survey of 27 luminous quasars at z ∼ 5–6, enabling a systematic investigation of their key physical pr...
