Characterising Obscured AGN and Their Hosts at 1 < z < 10 with JWST and BEAGLE-AGN
Abstract
Recent JWST observations have unveiled a growing population of high-redshift AGN, including Type-II candidates that offer unique insights into early obscured supermassive black hole (SMBH) evolution. In this talk, I will present a spectrophotometric analysis of 41 such AGN candidates spanning redshift 1-10 (Silcock et al. in prep), identified in JADES Ultra-Deep and Deep tiers (Scholtz et al. 2025). Characterising these sources enables us to track AGN properties across cosmic time and probe obscured phases of accretion during the early Universe.
