We present the results of a new LUCI / Large Binocular Telescope near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observation of PSO J030947.49 + 271757.31 (hereafter PSO J0309 + 27), the highest redshift blazar known to date ( z ∼ 6 . 1). From the CIV λ 1549 broad emission line, we found that PSO J0309 + 27 is powered by a 1.45 + 1 . 89 − 0 . 85 × 10 9 M (cid:12) supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a bolometric luminosity of ∼ 8 × 10 46 erg s − 1 and an Eddington ratio equal to 0.44 + 0 . 78 − 0 . 35 . We…

Within just the last few years, we have advanced from knowing only a few galaxies at z>2 to having redshifts for nearly 1000 z ∼ 2–5objects. The majority of this sample has been detected through the…
