摘要:

在本白皮书中,我们探索了识别和研究早期宇宙中由重种子($\mathrm{M_{\bullet}} \sim 10^4 - 10^6 \, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$)形成的超大质量黑洞所需的能力。为了获得对重粒子的明确探测,我们需要探测$\sim 10^{5-6} \, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$在红移$z \gtrsim 10$的质量尺度。从这个理论的角度来看,我们审查的观测要求,以及它们如何比较计划/拟议的仪器,在红外线,X射线和引力波领域。总之,在未来十年内在$z \gtrsim 10$探测重黑洞种子将具有挑战性,但根据目前的理论模型,即将推出/拟议的设施是可行的。它们的发现对于理解宇宙的早期历史以及迄今为止的演化至关重要。揭开黑洞的曙光肯定会是天文学界未来十年关注的重点任务之一。

英文摘要:

In this white paper we explore the capabilities required to identify and study supermassive black holes formed from heavy seeds ($\mathrm{M_{\bullet}} \sim 10^4 - 10^6 \, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$) in the early Universe. To obtain an unequivocal detection of heavy seeds we need to probe mass scales of $\sim 10^{5-6} \, \mathrm{M_{\odot}}$ at redshift $z \gtrsim 10$. From this theoretical perspective, we review the observational requirements and how they compare with planned/proposed instruments, in the infrared, X-ray and gravitational waves realms. In conclusion, detecting heavy black hole seeds at $z \gtrsim 10$ in the next decade will be challenging but, according to current theoretical models, feasible with upcoming/proposed facilities. Their detection will be fundamental to understand the early history of the Universe, as well as its evolution until now. Shedding light on the dawn of black holes will certainly be one of the key tasks that the astronomical community will focus on in the next decade.
