Abstract

Recent years have seen remarkable progress in the exploration of black holes in the early Universe, including the discovery of hundreds of accreting black holes within the first few billion years after the Big Bang. Many of these distant objects do not appear to be simple extrapolations of the local population of active galactic nuclei (AGN), but instead display remarkably different and intriguing properties. In this talk, I will discuss how these features are shedding light on the early seeding and growth of black holes, while at the same time opening new puzzles with potential implications for other areas of astrophysics.
