The Soltan argument at redshift 6: UV-luminous quasars contribute less than 10% to early black hole mass growth
We combine stellar mass functions and the recent first JWST-based galaxy-black hole scaling relations at $z=6$ to for the first time compute the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass volume density at this epoch, and compare this to the integrated SMBH mass growth from the population of UV-luminous qu...
