UNCOVERing the High-redshift AGN Population among Extreme UV Line Emitters

JWST has revealed diverse new populations of high-redshift ( z  ∼ 4–11) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and extreme star-forming galaxies that challenge current photoionization models. In this paper, we use rest-frame UV emission-line diagnostics to identify AGN candidates and other exceptional ionizi...
