No evidence for a significant evolution of $M_{\bullet}$-$M_*$ relation in massive galaxies up to z$\sim$4

Understand

Over the past two decades, tight correlations between black hole masses ($M_\bullet$) and their host galaxy properties have been firmly established for massive galaxies ($\log(M_*/M_{\odot})\gtrsim10$) at low-$z$ ($z<1$), indicating coevolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies.

• However, the situation at high-$z$, especially beyond cosmic noon ($z\gtrsim2.5$), is controversial.
• With a combination of \emph{JWST} NIRCam/wide field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) from FRESCO, CONGRESS and deep multi-band NIRCam/image data from JADES in the GOODS fields, we study the black hole to galaxy mass relation at z$\sim$1--4.
• After identifying 18 broad-line active galactic nuclei (BL AGNs) at $1<z<4$ (with 8 at $z>2.5$) from the WFSS data, we measure their black hole masses based on broad near-infrared lines (Pa $\alpha$, Pa $\beta$, and He\,I $\lambda$10833\,\AA), and constrain their stellar masses ($M_{*}$) from AGN-galaxy image decomposition or SED decomposition.
