The Extreme Quasar Main Sequence of Super-Eddington DESI-DR1 NLSy1 Galaxies

The episode discusses a paper detailing 'The Extreme Quasar Main Sequence of Super-Eddington DESI-DR1 NLSy1 Galaxies.' Hosts discuss how these local, low-mass systems exhibit super-extreme accretion states driven by high fueling rates, evidenced by strong Fe II emission. This finding provides a crucial local analog for testing theories about black hole growth in the early cosmos.
