Part 7/9:
To achieve super-Eddington accretion rates, black holes might rely on thicker accretion discs. By introducing additional mass to the disc, it becomes energetically charged, producing pressures that challenge previous understanding. These dense, more chaotic discs are less influenced by angular momentum and more by radiation outflow.
Such environments allow for the possibility of escaping radiation pressure while maintaining the black hole's inflow rate. This flow behavior enables extreme luminosity—an essential finding for early black holes like LAD 568. As JWST continues to probe further back into the early universe, we may discover more entities demonstrating this extraordinary growth behavior, confirming that super-Eddington rates were crucial in the evolution of large black holes.
