ScienceSimulations suggest Webb’s ‘Little Red Dots’ are rapidly growing black holes
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan says ATERUI III simulations point to early-universe conditions that allowed black holes to grow at rates impossible today.

The James Webb Space Telescope’s mysterious “Little Red Dots” may be rapidly growing black holes, according to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. It says simulations using Japan’s ATERUI III supercomputer explain the objects without exotic assumptions: conditions in the early universe allowed black hole growth at rates that would be impossible today.
