Plotting
the luminosity of the accretion disks against the gamma ray power of their jets, the team reports online today in Nature that there is a clear linear relationship between the two.

There are two different black hole scenarios proposed to explain these objects: (1) they contain very «big» black holes that could be more than a thousand times more massive than the Sun (Note 1), or (2) they are relatively small black holes, «little monsters» with masses no more than a hundred times that
of the Sun, that shine at
luminosities exceeding theoretical limits for standard
accretion (called «supercritical (or super-Eddington)
accretion,» Note 2).
Due to the lack
of sensitivity
of past and current infrared (IR) instrumentation, so far it has not been possible to get a glimpse into the earl... ▽ More Our current knowledge

accretion luminosity at high - redshift (z > 3 - 4), as well as the possible connections between them, relies mostly on observations in the rest - frame ultraviolet (UV), which are strongly affected by dust obscuration.
