A research team led by Professor Renyue Cen of the School of Physics at Zhejiang University, in collaboration with the University of Michigan, Johns Hopkins University, and other institutions in the United States, has used observations from the Hubble Space Telescope to uncover a surprising pattern: in compact starburst galaxies, ionizing radiation may escape primarily during the early stages of intense star formation. As supernova-driven galactic winds develop, the neutral gas and dust they carry may instead hinde...

揭示超大质量黑洞（Supermassive Black Hole, SMBH）与宿主星系在宇宙早期阶段的协同增长过程，以及二者质量关系随红移的演化规律，是当前天体物理学中的重要前沿课题之一。近年来，特别是在詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜（JWST）投入运行后，结合此前大规模类星体巡天及对高红移星系的后续观测研究，人们逐渐发现：在红移 z>3 甚至 z>6 的宇宙早期阶段，许多星系中的黑洞质量相对于其恒星质量显著偏高，偏离了本地宇宙中的黑洞星系质量关系。这一发现不仅对超大质量黑洞如何在宇宙早期实现快速增长提出了新的约束，也为理解黑洞与宿主星系...
