Abstract
ABSTRACT The depth and coverage of the first years of James Webb Space Telescope observations have revealed low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) across a wide redshift range, shedding light on black hole (BH) assembly and feedback. We present our spectroscopic sample of 34 Type 1 AGN obtained from JADES survey data and spanning $1.5 < z < 9$. Our sample of AGN probes a BH mass range of $10^{6-9}$ M$_{\odot }$ at bolometric luminosities down to $10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Most of these AGN are hosted in low-mass ($M_{\star }\sim 10^8$ M$_{\odot }$) galaxies and are overmassive relative to the local $M_{BH}\!-\!M_{\star }$ relation, while remaining consistent with the local $M_{BH}$–$\sigma _*$…
