متن کاملThe Cosmogony of Super-Massive Black Holes
• The luminosities of the quasars with the largest redshifts indicate that central BH masses of > 10 M⊙ were already present when the Universe was less than 10 years old (Barth et al. 2003). These masses are lower limits as they are based on the assumption that the BHs accrete at their Eddington limit.
