#Starlight and the #firstblackholes: #Researchers detect the #hostgalaxies of #quasars in the #earlyuniverse

So, have you taken notice that we have now seen the stellar #hostgalaxies of #quasars at z=6.4? Using #JWST we looked at the first two SHELLQ quasars which are ~x10 fainter than the most luminous quasars at high-z. And their host galaxies can clearly be seen. Off-center and massive (logM*~10^8.5). This was not attainable with HST or from the ground.
