Abstract

Recent discovery of J1342+0928 using data from the WISE telescope and ground based surveys indicate presence of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) having a mass of 800 million solar mass at a redshift of about 7.6. This imply that the black hole grew to this mass only 690 million years after the universe started expanding. Here we suggest that formation of such SMBH’s so early in the universe is consistent with our present understanding of the phenomena involved by invoking dark matter (DM).
